true about the boot partition _until_ 7.2. that is why I tried it out and it won't work unless you run mk_initrd. I guess its a bug. no separate ext2 boot partition needed. mk

I have had _NO_ problems with stock 2.4.4-4G kernel and reisers. I have installed in on at least 5 boxen, I even have 3 that are all reisers sharing with other distros. On those three, I made sure I told the installation to put lilo in /boot. On the 2 stand alone, I made a small /boot partition and made it ext2. On this machine I am writing this from:
SuSE 7.2 Personal = /dev/hdb6 ~8G all reisersfs with lilo put in the /boot during install shares a swap with the other linux distros @ /deb/hdb2 No kernel panics, no hiccups, no oops. I think from other posts on the list, you must make a boot partition formatted with ext2fs if you want to have a standalone reiserfs box.

ok I had the time to do a few installs of SuSE 7.2 and basically 2.4 kernel with reiser doesn't work at all. I have gotten to the same kernel panic on three different machines with three different hds (2, 8, 45 gig).
I do a fresh install. I put in partitions:
/dev/hda1 reiser /dev/hda2 swap
I chose 2.4.4-GB kernel. I run LILO.
It reboots and LILO runs but it kernel panics at 03:01. I tried putting in root=/dev/hda1 but it doesn't help it. I tried upgrading to suse stock kernel 2.4.7-4GB before the first reboot and the same kernel panic happens.
I installed ext2 with 2.2. kernel fine though.
Is SuSE gonna fix this kernel panic problem in their stock kernel?
