I get: > > VFS: Mounted root (ext2 file system). ^^^^ What a hell ext2fs does with your reiserfs filesystem?? Do you have compiled reiser as a module or in kernel? Do you have included and loaded reiserfs from your initrd if it is a module? Why in a case when your root is on reiserfs, you included ext2 in kernel? Ummm... :) > attempt to access beyond end of device > 01:00: rw=0, want=4612, limit=4096 Doh! Ext2 code should check more carefully if it mounted (or attempted to) ext2 fs -- what a bizzare, ext2 code treats reiserfs as ext2fs!.. Regards, Michael.
