Hi, I have the following configuration: 1a) /dev/sda1 contains bootable Kernel 2.6.17 1b) /dev/sda1 contains bootable 2.6.16.19 (same config) 2) /dev/sda3 is a LUKS-encrypted partition using ReiserFS 3) /dev/sdb3 is an unencrypted ("normal") partition using ReiserFS 2) is the same as 3) with the only difference that 2) is LUKS-encrypted (program-files, ReiserFS are the same) - I can boot 3) via 1a) successfully - trying to boot 2) via 1a) results in the kernel-error below - I can successfully boot 2) via 1b) - I can successfully boot 3) via 1b) The harddisk was checked using "badblocks -vs /dev/sda", too.
