Howdy,

I, too, have this little problem ("Mounting non valid file system") from ext2.
I bit the bullet and bought a separate 200 MB disk for Linux, and installed the
latest SLS onto ext2 file systems for both / and /usr. The warning message
showed up the *second* time I rebooted from a cold start, not the first (and
yes, I am careful to sync and use shutdown). I tracked down that particular
message in the kernel sources, and it *appears* to be innocuous, but looks can
be deceiving.

I think I'll hang on to that 80 MB ext partition on my /dev/hda 200 Megger
until I hear whether I have a real problem or not on the new disk.
