1 hello,
2
3 I attempted to install gentoo from the cd last night. I had no
4 problems at all creating the base system, only when I was trying to
5 boot it. I get a kernel panic as it tries to mount the root
6 filesystem (08:02).
7
8 I only have scsi drives in my system. I thought that scsi drivers
9 may not be compiled into the default kernel image, so I recompiled
10 the kernel (2.4.1-pre8) which is on the pre-2 cd, with those drivers.
11
12 When I rebooted, all my scsi devices were detected, but I then got
13 another kernel panic on mounting the root fs.
14
15 My root partition is reiserfs, and I think the kernel does not know
16 how to mount it. My question is, is reiserfs in 2.4.1-pre8, or do I
17 have to get some patch? I configured using the menuconfig option,
18 but I did not see reiserfs in the list.

20 Thanks,
21
