Hi,
You should be able to use the reiserfs module even when your root fs is on a
reiser partition. To do so, you need an "initrd" image with the resier fs
module inside. To create the initrd image, use "mkinitrd", after ensuring
that the reiser module is in the /etc/modules.conf file. Add the initrd to
the new kernel section in the lilo.conf file and re-run lilo.
Hope this helps

Subject: Re: [expert] reiserfs 1 more time
WEll one thing that jumps out at me, and you're probably going to have a
million people tell you this, but if you're booting off of a reiserfs then
you
should *not* have it as a module. I mean, what's the point in having it as a
module if you're going to be using it 100% of the time? Just compile it in
with
the kernel. But anyway, like i was saying, if it's a module then that means
that the kernel can't use it to load /boot, so how's it going to use it to
load
any modules?
I think that's accurate, anyway. Even if the reasoning is not quite right,
still i remember reading that you don't want to make your /boot partition of
the type that is supported by a modular part of the kernel.
So fix that, build it right in.
