Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 3:02
I'm compiling a 2.4.17 kernel. My fs is reiserfs I have it compiled in the kernel with all my default modules but I walways get the above error. My 2.4.18 and other kernels compile and boot with no problem am I missing something in my config Rowan Reid Job Captain, Systems Administrator STUDIO 3 ARCHITECTS 909 982 1717
I tried to do the same thing and got the same problem. And then I had problems with the 2.95.3 version of gcc, had to use the 3.01 version... After 2 days of fibbeling around I installed RedHat 7.3, compiled the 2.4.17 kernel and was done in 2 hours. Yepp, something is fishy about SuSE 8.0 and using kernel 2.4.17. I would say dump the reiserfs....(RH 7.3 is using ext3). Cheers, Magnus Rowan Reid wrote:

Hmmm... I could say something like that about RedHat, but that was in the past. Fact is I don't know RH 7.3, so I don't know how it smells ;-)

Nah, just put the reiserfs module in an initrd. I use it that way without a problem. All my Linux partitions are reiserfs. Leen

It still smells, the really suck on rpm dependencies. I really can't understand why RH is so popular...

Gentoo does not recomend using reiserfs...(http://gentoo.org/doc/build.html)

Try apt-get. Is realy great! http://apt4rpm.sf.net/ and http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/ 1. Install ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/apt4rpm/suse/extra/7.3/{,lib}apt-0.3.19*.rpm 2. Copy ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/8.0-i386/examples/sources.list.FTP -> /etc/apt/sources.list 3. Better remove ximian from sources.list before usage! 4. Ready to use.

Oops. BTW, strange, I believe reiserfs was there before xfs and ext3. I did have a problem though shortly after incorporation in the 2.4 kernel, and changed everything to ext2. Then I got tired of the looooong checks at booting. And if I'm not mistaken, the whole 2.4 kernel is still not marked as stable.

Linux cannot boot from reiserfs. It needs a small partition with ext2 to put all the boot files. In /etc/fstab, this partition should be mounted at /boot and the reiserfs partition mounted on /. Do mkinitrd which creates initrd in /boot. Do a lilo -C /etc/lilo.conf with boot=/dev/(your reiserfs partition) and under the image section image = /boot/vmlinuz (located on the ext2 partition) label = linux initrd = /boot/initrd (located on the ext2 partition) root = /dev/hda9 (my reiserfs partition) Hope this helps.

This is not true. I have SuSE 8.0 installed on my laptop with 2 partitions: 1. Root - Reiserfs 2. Swap. I do not have a separate /boot partition. On 27 Jun 2002 at 7:12, Ed Harrison wrote:

Really? I have this S-7.3 running for several months *without* a separate /boot partition. The /boot I have is *part* of the reiserfs / partition, and all seem to work well. -- Regards, gr, in /usually/ sunny, balmy Florida's Suncoast.
