OK, you seem to have run into the "Lets rip IDE out of the kernel and |
| 9 |
replace it with ATA" thing that happened in 2.6.18... |

|

In menuconfig , under Drivers, there's a menu a little bit below the |
| 12 |
IDE?MFM stuff. It's called SATA/PATA or similar. You will find |
| 13 |
appropriate settings for your hardware there. I can't elabortae as I |
| 14 |
don't know what you have, but you disk settings seem to be IDE |

Please, please, please always quote the correct error messages and leave |
| 28 |
your personal evaluation out of it. See how the above says absolutely |
| 29 |
nothing about ext3? But your original post was all about that, and |
| 30 |
without the actual error and .config, we would have spent hours trying |
| 31 |
to get your fs working, when in fault it is not faulty... |
