Hi there,
No the reiserfs is not root. The last thing i see is adding swap. I
believe this is the first thing that is done when the kernel passes of to
init right?
This is a Debian box and I went in and stopped syslog from starting so
know that that is not the problem. I am assuming this is not a kernel
issue however I don't know that for sure. I am so stumped the reiserfs is
not even in the /etc/fstab. The patch I used is below... As you can see it
is for 2.4.5
*Shrug*
