Re: Yaboot/ReiserFS bug report
Do you have yaboot 1.2.1? Its buggy, use the old one if you have the kernel on the ext2 partition.
I took yaboot with reiserfs support from suse reiserfs boot cd image. I do not know which is this version. It worked well if both /root and /boot have been on the same reiserfs partition.
I will reformat my HD again, no problem.
You dont need to reformat, just use the yaboot binary on the CD1 from the box.
Nope, it will not work (verified), because of yaboot requires root specification (root = /dev/hda11). Its a catch 22, since new yaboot does not like combination of ext2 /boot and reiserfs /root, and old one do not understands reiserfs /root at all. ******************************************************** * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * e-mail --- andrei.verovski@bigfoot.com * * * * Personal Home Page * * http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ * ********************************************************

Well, I dont have such a configuration around. But if the kernel is on a ext2 partition and the version 1.1.1 can read an ext2 partition I dont see the problem. Maybe you have the latest firmware update and yaboot cant open the raw device, then you need the kernel on the HFS boot partition. The 2001 Macs requires that. Use the "copy" option in lilo.
