Is it > necessary to use kernel 2.4.x if you want ReiserFS? keep in mind that reiserfs is totally broken on big endian archetectures (m68k, sparc, powerpc) right now. there is work being done and its making progress but none of it is merged upstream yet. also sparc and powerpc bootloaders (silo, quik, and yaboot) don't grok reiserfs, but that wouldn't be a problem so long as reiserfs root was not allowed. > I would really like to see how we can work in parted.
