At Boot I get the following error:

Did you compile support for the root filesystem type into the kernel? E.g. if your root filesystem is Reiserfs then that must be compiled into the kernel.
Root filesystem doesn't have to be compiled into the kernel, it may be compiled as a module. The following is from a system which uses reiserfs: $ zcat /proc/config.gz|grep -i reiserfs CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=m # CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set # CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO is not set CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_XATTR=y CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_XATTR_USER=y CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_POSIX_ACL=y $ grep INITRD /etc/sysconfig/kernel INITRD_MODULES="3w-xxxx reiserfs ide-scsi" $ egrep '/\W' /etc/fstab /dev/sda2 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
