Hi,

I still can not remount my ext3 root partition to change to the data=writeback mode using 2.4.7-ac7 .

Steve, you are probably looking for 'rootflags=data=writeback' kernel commandline option. Just add this into your lilo.conf. In /etc/fstab either do not specify 'data=writeback' at all for root partition, or you must use 'data=writeback' (I prefer specifying data=xxx, as then / and other partitions look same in fstab).
Best regards,
