Hmm - thanks for that, working with that now. Here is another wierd
thing: Considering:

EXT2-fs warning (device hda1): ext2_fill_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).

in dmesg, i have been trying to find out what this is about, however,
i thought to check the mounted disks via: "df -t ext2" and got
nothing, however, if i do:

dev:~# df -t ext3
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1             15481840   3306004  11389404  23% /

So the root partition is mounted as ext3... but i get the error in dmesg. Wierd.

Simon
