Cool. Good thing you have some other systems you can call on. Unfortunately, my combination of a 2.2 kernel and 56k modem prevents me from helping more directly. Goode luck. On Fri, Oct 27, 2000 at 01:20:25AM -0500, Pascal Hos wrote: > On Thu, Oct 26, 2000 at 11:20:02PM -0700, Rob wrote: > > to

Well I just solved it. I compiled the 2.4-test9 kernel with reiser patches on a different machine and wrote the image to a floppy using make bzdisk and then used that disk as my boot disk. This let me mount my reiser file systems. Then I backed up /boot, unmounted it and made it ext2 again. Copied

touche. I recall someone on the -boot list posting about an unofficial rescue+reiserfs disk ( intended for install, but sure would help in this case ). check out this thread, mentions that lilo will handle a reiserfs /boot with the -notail option ( next in thread ) http://lists.debian.org/debi

I seem to have messed up now. I just made all my partitions except for / reiserfs (this includes /boot). Now when I try to boot the computer Lilo doesn't get past LI and just sits there. Of course I do not have a rescue disk that will allow me to mount a reiser partition, so I'm stuck. I assume tha
