Hardware is a Dell WorkStation 410, UW AIC7890 scsi on module AIC7xxx with 2 hard drives... The cooker drive has a 2gb windows partition followed be 3gb reiserfs / and 3gb reiserfs /home and swap.

( Ruairi Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.amexmail.com/?A=1 Have you checked for the initrd image, mandrake doesn't compile reiserfs support as part of the kernel, rather was a module. I have noticed that some mandrake cooker kernel rpms make the initrd image and modify lilo/ grub automagically, others don't.

Re: [Cooker] Reiserfs and Cooker
I don't think so. Looks like the kernel module isn't loaded until a filesystem in /etc/fstab is accessed. I also tried to make my root partition with reiser and got the same results.

I saw the same problem as Ruairi this weekend, up to date as of st least Saturday night.
