RE: sym53c8xx_2 driver and tekram dc-390u2w kernel-2.6.x

["Brad Cramer" <bcramer@callahanfuneralhome.com>]

OK, it took me some time, but here is what I did.
I installed a debian kernel image (kernel_image-2.4.24-1-k7) to tell if this
was just a problem with the driver or because of the upgrade to kernel 2.6.x
I the sym53c8xx and sym53c8xx_2 drivers are modules and this is what I got.

sdb is a zip drive without a disk in it and that is the reason for those
errors. Then when I mount a partition that is on /dev/sda I get this:

bigdaddy:~# mount /var
reiserfs: found format "3.6" with standard journal
reiserfs: checking transaction log (device sd(8,2)) ...
for (sd(8,2))

and everything works fine, then when I do :

 and then when I try to mount a partition on /dev/sda I get this:

bigdaddy:~# mount /var
reiserfs: found format "3.6" with standard journal
reiserfs: checking transaction log (device sd(8,2)) ...
for (sd(8,2))

sd(8,2):sh-2022: reiserfs_read_super: unable to initialize journal space
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,
        or too many mounted file systems

So I don't understand what is wrong, my only guess is a problem with the
driver, but As I said I am not a programmer and I can not figure out where
the problem is.
Thanks 
Brad

That might give a clue.
