You need to make an initrd image that has reiserfs.o in it if you want to boot your reiserfs root file system. apt-get install initrd-tools look here for some help using mkinitrd http://www.edseek.com/archives/2004/03/22/creating-an-initrd-image-on-debian-gnulinux/ Or, you could just compile reiserfs into the kernel and then not worry about initrd. I have a 2.4.27 with debian patches kernel-image.deb that I made for my machine which also has a reiserfs root filesystem. If you would like to try it download it here. http://eugenefreeride.com/kernel-image-2.4.27_10.00.Custom_i386.deb Good luck! -John _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
