I'm not fully sure I understand why this can be related to the kernel version. Remember, I did eventually succeed in installing the 2.6 kernel + lilo while running a 2.4 kernel --- only I had to do it manually. Furthermore, as far as I have understood, the ReiserFS is forwards compatible. That is, the ReiserFS created with partman on the install floppy should work with the 2.6 kernel. At least, it seems to be working for me.
So, it still seems to me that there is a problem in the debian installer. Also, note that there were also other issues I reported: E.g. the need to manually modify lilo.conf. I agree that one a resolution may be to upgrade the software on the install floppies - at least the debian-installer, it seems. But wouldn't it be better to document the problems reported as a "known issue" until actually resolved? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
