Have the same problem under both Debian (Knoppix 3.3 19-Nov-2003 on HDD) and SuSE 9.0:

Downloaded 2.6.0 and aplied patches to get to 2.6.1-mm5

make xconfig
(amongst other things)flag to compile into kernel ext3 and reiserfs
make-kpkg clean (or make clean under SuSE)
make-kpkg kernel-image modules-images (or make under SuSE)
dpkg -i of resulting .deb (or make install under SuSE)
checked I had the new kernel ready for LILO (and rerean lilo -v)

when I boot the new kernel it goes fine UNTIL the fsck

It then gives an error (tried both on a ext3 and on a reiserfs / filesystems) but if I give the root password and remount r/w the / I can see and change all of the files without problems.

If I reboot the original 2.4.22-xfs (or SuSE counterpart) the fsck says everything is clean.

WHAT IS HAPENING ???

Thank you very much for any help.

Bob
