The Ubuntu kernel that we use has ext2 compiled in: CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y Also the Fedora kernels have direct ext2 support compiled in. febootstrap *ought* to be able to find the ext2.ko module for your kernel and load it into the initrd. According to the output above, this didn't happen, which would indicate one of: - you don't have ext2.ko under the modules path - the module should be ext4.ko (because the kernel option CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23=y is enabled) -- this is a bug in febootstrap - you have the module, but the appliance wasn't rebuilt (did you rm -rf {/var,}/tmp/.guestfs-* ?) - it's not a well-tested path because everyone else has this compiled in, so febootstrap is broken for some other reason Here is the code: http://git.annexia.org/?p=febootstrap.git;a=blob;f=helper/ext2initrd.c;h=...
