I've run into a problem with a new hard drive and a ReiserFS installed on
it. My current suspicion is that the BIOS must also accept/handle the
ReiserFS for it to be able to boot from a drive formatted in that manner.
My reason for assuming this is that I have installed SuSE 7.2 Pro on a new
hard drive, and the Bios tells me there is an Hard Drive Failure if I try to
boot from it. But if I boot from CD or floppy I can not only see that
installation, but access it, as well.
Does anyone know if this is the case? Or a way to circumvent this problem
if so?
I haven't found a BIOS update that mentions file system type. I am
reluctant to re-install (for the third time) if this won't fix the problem.
