Re: kernel panic & ext2 filesystem

What is the exact kernel output?
What looks your /etc/fstab like?

Hi,
I'm still fighting against kernel 2.6.4. Now I found a strange behavior, that cannot explain to myself. I've got all my partitions formatted with reiserfs, and in particular:


luca@lucaSassuolo:~> mount
/dev/hda2 on / type reiserfs (rw)

that means root partition /dev/hda2 is reiserfs. Now I've unchecked ext2 and ext3 support in the filesystem options, leaving support for reiserfs directly in the kernel (i.e., not as module):

lucaSassuolo:/usr/src/linux # grep REISER .config
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=y
# CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set
CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO=y

but at the reboot I got a kernel panic, since it was unable to mount /dev/hda2 as root. I've re-checked the support (not as module) for ext2 and ext3 and the system starts.
Why should I support ext2,3 if all my partitions are reiserfs? Can anybody explain me this?


Thanks,
Luca
