I've been keeping quite up-to-date with new kernels, so I compiled 2.6.15-rc4 plus the reiser4 patches from 2.6.15-rc3-mm1 plus the reiser4-fix-fsync.patch.
I'm using grub 0.97 with the 20050808 reiser4 patch. Put the new kernel in /boot, modified /boot/grub/menu.lst for it, rebooted, and got the following error, after "Uncompressing Linux": ran out of input data system halted So, after trying different things to no avail, I just made another copy of the kernel file, and it booted fine from that. I'm thinking it's something to do with the way the original file is layed out on disk, and grub w/ reiser4 is having trouble with it. What's the best way to read off the meta-data for just that one file? I've wanted to contribute something to Reiser4 development for a while now. Perhaps I can figure out what's causing this boot problem and fix it. Thanks. Charles Johnston
