Demand

You want to use a ext3 partition as root partition. Since there is an error in the script mk_initrd in SuSE Linux 7.3, it is not possible.

Procedure

Download the latest version of the script from our ftp Server and copy it to sbin, so that the root partition can also be ext3:

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/snwint/initrd/mk_initrd
