Indeed, 3.6.x format is icompatible with 3.5.x one (used in 2.2.x) but
can still read 3.5.x one.
There has been a beta patch a long time ago to make 3.5.x read 3.6.x
code but for the moment, just cry.

You might be refering to me.  It is impossible to mount a kernel 2.4
formatted reiserfs partiton in a kernel 2.2 system

As it was maddog who questioned, I got scary and returned to the crime
scene, and and I am sure it was kernel and /boot/vmlinuz.

But to be absolutely sure I did a new installation and used and old
floppy that I had used as boot disk earlier for reiserfs. When I tried
to use the 'new' boot disk it was claimig problems to find 2.4.0-10. To
me this explains that the fine program that is to make the boot disk is
not formatting the disk. Must I do a formatting prior to making a boot
disk?

So you're sure it reads "kernel" and "/boot/vmlinuz" instead of
"kernek" and "boot/vmlinuz" in config?

[Cooker] Installation8.0 - reiser

2001-02-08 Thread guran

Hi
I did  a try from a hd.img on to a partition with reiser fs.

nice run of installation, but the bootdisk was a hd.img disk.

I manually added the following to the grub menu of my mdk7.2

title reiser
kernek (hd0,7)boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda8 ide1=autotune ide0=autotune
vga=788
initrd (hd0,7)/boot/initrd.img

It refused to read and complained of bad file or file structure.
