The 2.2 kernel in the distros supporting ReiserFS is patched for it. Actually, LILO
supports it as well because it is also patched.
I don't have an Ovislink PCI Ethernet card so I cannot see what you are saying.... If
you want assistance getting it running under Linux-Mandrake 7.0 or 7.1, I think we
will need a little more data., like the output of
cat /proc/pci
cat /proc/modules
cat /etc/conf.modules
I do have a card with an 8139 chip and it was automatically recognized and configured
and runs well, better than the cards I paid $50 for instead of $12, as I did for the
Realtek. That was with Linux-Mandrake 7.0-2. It also runs under 7.1 beta(hydrogen).
At present, the only support I have seen for reiserfs has been with SuSE and
Linux-Mandrake 7.1 Beta though it was possible to build it for your own system from
the reiserfs source.
