just a quick dirty and possible bad thought: -mm4: +i386-enable-4k-stacks-by-default.patch Test 4k stacks some more reiser4: Note: please make sure that you have checked in Code maturity level options ---> Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers and NOT checked in Kernel hacking ---> Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb maybe the default config option of 4k stacks kills reiser4? so i won't test it for now :-) cya Heiko
