Re: oops at boot with 2.5.7 and i810 (reiserFS related?)

Maybe you are right.
I tested a 2.5 kernel with another server with scsi adaptec, and
it worked with ext2 but oops while mounting reiserFS.

It seems that a lot of users had oops mounting reiserFS with 2.5.6, but
then a patch fixed that. Now I think this patch is in 2.5.7, (it should),
but there are other changes i think to reiserFS code. So i have other
oopses.

I think this could be a proof of a reiserFS bug.

If people at namesys need it (maybe they already know this, and have a
patch to try), tomorrow i will post the oop mounting
reiserFS.

reiserfs in 2.5.6-pre3 to 2.5.7 have a bug that prevent it from mounting
usual filesystems (filesystems with relocated journals still works,
but I doubt much people use that).

Sure.

No need for that. See attached patch that I am posting in response to
any such report (so just looking in archives first might help you faster).
