It was reiserfs, but now it'll be ext3.. I hope grub has no problems reading ext3 since its the same as ext2 anyway... in principle.. ;) > If the hard drive you are trying to boot from has a filesystem > other than ext2, you would need to rebuild GRUB to support it -- > the "./configure" script used in the instructions > explicitly disabled all other types of filesystems. I didn't take your example, and theoretically grub should have had support for reiserfs -- but I guess it hadn't.
