I simply booted the pcmcia.img disk - hit F1 and typed rescue (this had worked previously). I then type in the IP address of the FTP host with the full cooker and it loads the second stage fine. I get the ISOLINUX menu and choose to mount the partitions - that's when I receive the error (no reiserfs in kernel)
I also booted the 8.2 CD - and was able to get rescue to work and mount the partitions. But I cannot figure out why the system won't boot (everything looks OK under lilo.conf) I get: kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05 Hope this helps . . .
