kernel26-ice 2.6.32-11. where is reiser4 support? [SOLVED]

noMaster · 2010-02-20 09:43:54

I tried to install new kernel26-ice 2.6.32-11. After grub I see kernel panic message. This kernel is only working for ext4... PKGBUILD is standard. What's up? My kernel26-ice 2.6.31-8 was working fine under reiser4 ("/" and "/home").

you have to enable this option:
enable_reiser4=${enable_reiser4:-0}
to get reiser4 support

This is because the reiser4 patch is not always working with the latest kernel and we need a way to disable it.
the config file already has the option for reiser4 module enabled

Yes, this option was enable.
What can I do in this case?

Are you sure you have the reiser4 module in your initrd ?

Sorry, I'm not really good at Arch. You meant line in mkinitcpio-kernel26-ice.conf:

MODULES="ata_generic ata_piix uvesafb reiser4"

or
option in PKGBUILD

enable_reiser4=${enable_reiser4:-0}

?

p.s. I tried to build kernel under Arch linux 2.6.31-ice and Arch linux 2.6.32-ARCH. Result is similar.

You both need to build the kernel module for reiser4 AND put it in the initrd mkinitpcpio creates when you install the kernel.
Don't think there's a hook for reiser4, so try to add reiser4 to the line MODULES you posted

Well, I built the kernel once more time and got the same result. Further I show all my steps:
1. Start my Arch Linux 2.6.31-ice
2. Type in terminal

yaourt kernel26-ice

3. check PKGBUILD, a line

enable_reiser4=${enable_reiser4:-0}

is here and uncomment
4. Change line /tmp/yaourt-tmp-ku/aur-kernel26-ice/kernel26-ice/mkinitcpio-kernel26-ice.conf

MODULES="ata_generic ata_piix uvesafb reiser4"

5.Change 'mkinitcpio-kernel26-ice.conf ' checksum in PKGBUILD
6. Run build process
7. Change line /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES="reiser4"

8. There are not any changes in my 'menu.lst'

# (0) Arch Reiser4
title Arch Reiser4
root (hd0,6)
kernel /vmlinuz26-ice root=/dev/sda8 ro
initrd /kernel26-ice.img

9. Install new ice kernel and damn!!! Again kernel panic!
What is f***?!!! What is wrong?! How to set up reiser4 support for kernel 2.6.32 version!!!?

You need to change it to :-1} at the end of the line.....

Thank you. It is working for me. But now my 'acpi-eeepc-generic' is not working ;(
Anyway thanks
