I've just installed the latest Severn Beta, and have noticed that
the compile
kernel included in that distro kernel-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl doe snot have
reiserfs support included. As I have my /home partition in resiserfs it is a
problema
install kernel-unsupported from severn.
for me.
As a temp solution I have installed the 2.4.20-19.9 Redhat 9 kernel which is
compiled with reiserfs, and also installed the kernel source for the
2.4.21-20 kernel to try to recompile reiserfs support.
Is the fact that these new stock kernels from Redhat does not support reiserfs
a move from Redhat away from support of this fs type, or is this just a
product of being a beta kernel (also the rawhide kernel also does not have
reiserfs support)?
Also, what is the best way to recompile the kernel using the kernel sources?
I've tried:
* copy configs/kernel-2.4.21-i686.config to .config
* This config to my surprise already has reiserfs module support (I thought
Redhat used this configs to do every kernel)
As the severn kernel.
* then do a make rpm
The make rpm is failing due to some modules compile, such as :
make[4]: *** [libata.o] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.4.2120.1.2024.2.1.nptlcustom/drivers/scsi'

RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.56165 (%build)
make: *** [rpm] Error 1
By enabling and disabling certain drivers I can get around that issue (before
it was failing due to the I2C driver, disbled that in .config and now it's
this), but I wonder whether this is the best option, as I would presume that
Redhat's .config and kernel source should give no issue at all...
Anyways, thanks a lot for any help,
BR,
