ReiserFS is much less stable under 2.4.* than 2.2.* anyway, so I'm told. Compile your own kernel.

RE: [Cooker] reiserfs.o
No, that's not a problem; but I've used reiser with test kernels from Mandrake in the past and I'm just wondering if they've decided to not support reiser anymore or just not in the test kernel or if it was just a mistake to leave it out of the latest test kernel RPMS? Thanks much, Mike Compile your own kernel. Yes, I know it sounds daunting, but the whole process is well documented (see the README). Remember to patch your kernel using this command: zcat linuxreiserfs.gz | patch -P0. get the linux kernel 2.4test9 at www.kernel.org get the linux reiserfs 2.4test9 patch at www.reiserfs.org ... and whatever you do, DON'T skip a step in the README.
