Hello, I have the following problem. I created some reiserfs partitions on my old Mandrake 7.2 system using the 2.4.1 kernel and the corresponding reiserfs tools (version 3.6.25). Now I would like to upgrade the system to Mandrake 8.0 beta1. But the cdrom / floppy disk images to boot (still) use a 2.2.18 kernel (with reiserfs 3.5.xx, 29<=x<=31). With this kernel it is not possible to access a reiserfs partition of version 3.6.xx. I thought it might be possible to work around this problem by creating a cdrom / floppy with a 2.4.2 kernel. At first glance the only things which have to be changed are the kernel on the boot image (e.g. in image/cdrom.img on the cdrom) and the modules in Mandrake/mdkinst/lib/modules.cz.(I do not have any special devices like SCSI controllers, USB or PCMCIA cards). Where can I find the configuration of the old kernel 2.2.18 (/usr/src/linux/.config)? Would this approach make sense? Thank you for your help Joachim -- Joachim Herb mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
