Note that it is specifically trying to use ext2, so apart from pointing to the correct partition you ought to specify it as ext3 or auto - otherwise, you will not be able to use the journal. But that is far less important than your misunderstanding of the partitioning. On ubuntu, you can use fdisk, sfdisk, cfdisk, or parted to list the partitions (these are all editing tools - you do NOT want to edit the partiton map, so read the man or info pages for whichever of these tools is installed to check how to list the partitions. ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
