Hi, people. The real purpose of this message is to report that the Rescue System, startable by the installator from the distribution CD-ROM for 6.4, is unable to mount a Reiser file system: it says that the type is unknown. I would have expected the Rescue System should have Reiser compiled in. The rest of this message is a mere chat. :-) I went back to my friend's house, yesterday, trying to help him to install SuSE on his old Pentium/SCSI system. Tried really many things, but the problem seems to be that his `aic7xxx' disk is just not recognised at boot time. So far that I can see, the `initrd' contents has all it needs. We also compiled a new kernel with `aic7xxx' built-in and put it on diskette, without LILO (the simplest possible), and the disk did not seem to be recognised. However, the disk is accessible by the installation system from the distribution CD-ROM or diskette, so not all hope is lost. I wondered if the problem might not be that `/' is Reiser. The fact that we could start the Installed System from the distribution CD-ROM (only once `aic7xxx' put in place by `Auto-loading of modules' first), gives me a hint that this is not a problem, but who knows. -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
