I have downloaded an updated Linux kernel which I need installed in order to use a certain piece of software. This is my first time doing a kernel compilation. I went through the long "make config" (actually xconfig) process, and carefully set all the right options. I didn't see anything in the kernel options relating to ReiserFS support, and I don't know exactly what I am supposed to do to make sure that I have ReiserFS support after I install the new kernel. I need it because I set up most of my partitions with ReiserFS when I set up Mandrake, including the root (/) partition. Obviously, right now ReiserFS is working perfectly with my current kernel, but is there anything I have to do to make sure that it stays working as beautifully after the new kernel is installed? I don't even know if Mandrake installs ReiserFS as a module or whether it can be compiled into the kernel. I read in the file Documentation/modules.txt (in the Linux kernel source directory) that things like support for the root file system must be compiled into the kernel, and can't be loaded as a module, so this is what makes me a bit unsure.
