it
- downloaded e2fsprogs.. installed..
Shouldn't there be e3fsprogs for ext3?
afte i rebooted my /dev/hda5 partition is not
geting mounted
what is /dev/hda5
properly ls -l shows it as a directory as 8 k and
cd says not a
directory
That's because it is not a directory. /dev/hda5 is a block special device with major number 3 and minor number 5.
also during bootup I get a swapon error saying
that invalid -e
option.
find out where in your startup scripts swapon is called, and what options it takes, and then check what these options mean.
booting from an older kernel does not give any
such errors...
What are the changes you made apart from compiling in ext3?
From what you have said, there is no way to know whether you are using ext3 or not, all we know is that it is compiled in. We also don't know what you are using for your other partitions.
