You have to enable "Prompt for Experimental Modules" or something to that
effect. I don't remember the exact text of that option. You find that at the
very biginning.

Subject: [expert] Kernel 2.4.0 and ReiserFS Patch

Hi Mandrakers,
Its late and I am really tired so I might have forgotten something (other
than the cardinal rule of never trying to build a new kernel when you are in
this state) but I can't get the kernel config to register that I have
applied
the reiserfs patches.
I downloaded the new kernel source tarball. Untarred to /usr/src/linux
which was a clean folder. Tar -xvf worked fine and no problems noted.

I downloaded the reiserfs patch for 2.4.0 and patched the kernel source
with
no errors.

As you can see by the above the patch was perfect. I then 'cd linux' and
ran a 'make xconfig' but I am unable to select the reiserfs as it is greyed
out.
When I did exactly the same thing for the 2.2.18 kernel just a few days ago
it was selectable and I went on to build a new bootable reiserfs kernel.
Any ideas on where I dozed off and missed something? Is this a bug with
the
reiserfs patch?
Thanks in advance. Cheers.
