Yaboot/ReiserFS bug report
Hi, The current version of yaboot with ReiserFS patch (avavilable on SuSE ftp) does NOT supports yet separate /boot ext2 and root ReiserFS partitions (it throws in open firmware). However, it works without any problem if /boot and /root are located on single ReiserFS partition. Also, the system is bootable from the CD. Here is fstab and yaboot.conf snippets. I believe everything is right there. /dev/hda12 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda11 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 /dev/hda10 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda13 /macboot hfs defaults 0 0 # 2.4.2-SuSE-RaiserFS image = ultra0:10,/boot/vmlinux-2.4 label = linux-2.4-SuSE root = /dev/hda11 PS. I have right kernel installed !!! ******************************************************** * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * e-mail --- andrei.verovski@bigfoot.com * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ * ********************************************************

Do you have yaboot 1.2.1? Its buggy, use the old one if you have the kernel on the ext2 partition. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
