This means you cannot boot from CD / disk to update / install doesn't it?
Yepp, exactly that.
I mean if I upgrade to 3.6 and boot my 2.4.x kernel I should be able to install from CD. Otherwise that >2GB thing would be useless.
Of cause that'll work. But you can't do a system update from YaST1/YaST2 as it'll refuse to update the base system. So you'd have to update manually.
In the "old" times, there used to be three disks: The boot, the root and the yast disk. Furthermore, there was also a rescue disk.
But the rescue floppy was libc5 based.
Is there any chance to recreate these and offer them for d/l to solve that problem?
I'll ask, but I'm not in a position to actually decide.
Btw, my problem with gramofile might be caused by reiser 3.5 as well...
Could well be. I haven't yet had time to check if gramofile does support LFS. If it does, reiserFS 3.5 would be the limiting factor. -- Penguins to save the dinosaurs -- Handelsblatt on Linux for S/390
