    I recently tried 2.6.3 and it appeared to work fine but 2.6.4 won't
    boot. When booting it says it can't mount root as ext3.

    I have ext2/ext3 compiled in the kernel, it's not a module. The exact
    error is:

    Creating root device
    Mounting root filesystem
    Mount: error 6 mounting ext3
    pivotroot: pivotroot(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
    umount /initrd/proc failed: 2
    Kernel panic: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel

    What is so different between 2.6.3 and 2.6.4 that would cause this?

    Here is GRUB entry:

    title Red Hat Linux (2.6.4)
             root (hd0,1)
             kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.4 ro root=/dev/hda2
             initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.4.img

    Many Thanks
