root filesystem

[Gregory Nowak]

Doing "depmod -a" in the old kernel isn't relevent, because the new kernel won't give a hoot. You should instead do that in the new kernel.

I'm not sure quite what 0302 refers to, I might just try playing with system.map some more trying different combinations. I used fdisk to partition the disk to ext2, and it boots fine with the old kernel. I just want to make sure there's nothing that I'm missing. And if you want, just let me know if you want me to post system.map to the list. Thanks again!
