17 Maybe you should mount your root with the option "conv" once, if you have created
18 it with
19 an older version of reiserfs that 3.6.26 (which is the one on 2.4.0-ac11).

21 I'm currently working on r1, which includes a new reiserfs/nfs patch and a fix
22 for lvm-install (the "make install" line was missing). Did you ever test
