Tried to build a new initial ramdisk with SCSI and Reiserfs
support.
Now it seems obvious that the problem is that the reiserfs
module isn't "build" correctly into the ramdisk.
When I built the ramdisk with "mkinitrd -v ...." I saw that
scsi_mod.o, sd_mod.o, aic7xxx.o and reiserfs.o were needed
and being built into the ramdisk.
Everything seemed to work fine except for reiserfs.
There I got following messages:
Loading module reiserfs with options
tar: ./lib/reiserfs.o: Wrote only 2048 of 10240 bytes
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
(besides I tried "mkinitrd ..... -with=reiserfs" as well:
same error!)
How to solve this problem?
(I tried to boot with the new ramdisk. As expected: same
error as with the previous one.)
