Now I found a strange behavior, that cannot explain to myself. I've got all my partitions formatted with reiserfs, and in particular: luca@lucaSassuolo:~> mount /dev/hda2 on / type reiserfs (rw) that means root partition /dev/hda2 is reiserfs. Now I've unchecked ext2 and ext3 support in the filesystem options, leaving support for reiserfs directly in the kernel (i.e., not as module): lucaSassuolo:/usr/src/linux # grep REISER .config CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=y # CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO=y but at the reboot I got a kernel panic, since it was unable to mount /dev/hda2 as root. I've re-checked the support (not as module) for ext2 and ext3 and the system starts. Why should I support ext2,3 if all my partitions are reiserfs? Can anybody explain me this? Thanks, Luca -- Luca Ferrari, fluca1978@virgilio.it
