Please could you pull and try these two images from the unstable tree that I've just built for you:

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/iap10/temp/xenolinux.gz http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/iap10/temp/image.gz

I've just updated the prebuilt xenolinux image at this location to include ReiserFS support.

[ However, there was a trivial build problem due to a missing include in the asm-xeno/page.h -- did you see this when adding reiserfs to the config? ]

(I don't think I saw this error)

If these images work, it's definitely a build problem. They boot on my system, but I haven't been able to check whether reiserfs works, though I'd expect it to.

Ok - this boots! Yay! Yes, this could be something with my build procedures, but remember that the first time I tried it was with the kernel & xeno images copied from the CD (they bombed before the domain 0 was started).

Here is the current status with domain 0 filesystem troubles:

- Only the first filesystems mount (note that the ReiserFS on / mounted fine):

Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 16016308 9988792 6027516 63% / /dev/sda1 46636 18682 25546 43% /boot shmfs 48400 0 48400 0% /dev/shm

- But these did not mount, and I don't know why (my other FS' are commented out in /etc/fstab):

/dev/sdb1 /tmp reiserfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sdc2 /globus reiserfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sdh1 /home reiserfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sdm1 /data/web02files reiserfs defaults 0 0

They did not mount at boot time, and the errors went by too fast to see (they're not in dmesg or the boot logs in /var/log).

When I try to mount a reiserfs filesystem (i.e., "mount /tmp") from the running system, the mount just hangs in an IO wait and never comes back (I can't even kill -9).

- Here's an ext2: /dev/sdd1 /mnt/d ext2 defaults 0 1

When I try to mount after the system is running: # mount /mnt/d mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd1, or too many mounted file systems (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

When I tried to boot with /mnt/d in /etc/fstab, I got an error about fsck needing to run (which is false), then supposedly got dumped into single-user mode to run fsck, but in fact the system hung...no prompt, hard reboot needed.

Yes, these are all SCSI drives, and were configured correctly (right speed, bus, Mhz...) when the kernel initialized.

I will try to add a domain, but wanted to write here about the filesystems. (Also, I now need to reboot to the old kernel, to get the filesystems back with the domain tools for 1.1).

If it would help, I could put a different distribution on this system. It's SuSE 8.1, which is generally good but doesn't even include ext3. RH9 or Debian would probably do fine.

Thanks again for working on this, and I hope all my analysis is helpful! -- Greg
