Ok, So I can see in the boot screen that reisfer sees a 3.6 journal on boot it pauses for a while then I get the error outlined below. Has anyone successfully used 2.6.9 on an 8.2 system. Also I saw something about ACL's in one post I haven't selected the extended options for reisfer, and my /etc/fstab entry is still the 8.2 default /dev/hda3 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
Any ideas? anyone

Hi, I'm trying to compile a kernel for my 8.2 system. I thought that I would try 2.6.9, but It won't mount the root filesystem.
I use grub and here is my entry in grub
title linux-2.6.9 kernel (hd0,2)/boot/bzImage-2.6.9 root=/dev/hda3 showopts splash=silent
I also use reiserfs 3.6 which I compiled into the kernel to eliminate any problem I might have with using an initrd.
I get the following error just after it tries to mount the filesystem
ide failed opcode was: unknown ide0 reset: success hda read_intr: status=0x59 { Driveready SeekComplete DataRequestError} hda read_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound } LDAsect=116966416 sector=116966416
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block (3,3)
I haven't done this for a long time, but thought I'd like to try out the preemptive kernel. I have also upgraded:
(installed) module-init-tools - module-init-tools 3.0-pre10
I couldn't get anything using reiserfsck -V 2>&1|grep reiserfsprogs, but reiserfsck -V gives 3.6.4. Everything else is >= to the minimum versions specified.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Oh and build process:
- make bzImage
- make modules
- make modules_install
- copy image and system map to /boot.

Try compiling 2.6.7 (2.6.8 and 2.6.8.1 won't burn cd's right) and see if you get the same error. Maybe it is a general 2.6.x kernel *****MAYBE*****
Ok, have tried using knoppix with 2.6.7 kernel and can't mount /dev/hda3, however I can mount it using the SuSE 9.2 live eval, so do SuSE add any extras that might not be in the standard kernel with respect to reiserfs?
Jeff
I have gotten this to work ( I have yest to add back in the stuff I need) so that it is able to mount the filesystem using a SuSE 2.6.8 KOD. So it seems that there is some differences in the SuSE implementation of reiserfs. Does this mean that only the SuSE kernel will work with a SuSE distro, or is there something that I can do to make my system compatible with the vanilla kernel sources, or is this a bug with the vanilla kernel sources?
Jeff
There was a difference between versions of reiserfs which caused my scsi disks not to be compatible with mandrake. I had to backup the data and mkreiserfs on those disks before they would mount. The current version in 9.2 is 3.6.18, I don't know what version is in 8.2. You can also expect to see some strange messages and perhaps hangs with hotplug and a good /etc/modprobe.conf was difficult until I installed the new modutils. It may have been a problem in 9.0, but I was able to codge it together by loading modules manually. Any reason you couldn't go to at least and preferably 9.1 on another disk, where you could copy across some of the critical files in /etc,/home and anything else needed, that would be a much easier way to go to 2.6.
