a while back we had this discussion............and i just kept using the stock 2.2.18 kernel with SuSE 7.0, now i'd like to try 2.4.0 and i'm unable to locate a patch for the reiserfs version (3.5.23-6) that i used to make my partition when i installed SuSE 7.0.......... is this possible, or does anyone know of a patch? i hope that i don't need to wipe my hard drive, install newer version of reiser to use a newer kernel..... TIA, -don

I have patches I created upto 2.2.18 based on the current version of reiserfs at that time. I can post on my website if anyone is interested. Last time I checked, they still only had patches for 2.2.17 but that was a couple weeks ago.
