iirc reiserfs is not supported by stock 2.2 kernels and you need to compile the kernel with a patch, you could try kernel-image-2.2.20-reiserfs or 2.4 kernels. I saw in the thread that you also head problems with network after upgrade. You could try sending the output of lspci -vv and I will try to recognize the card module. > Looks like your kernel does not have reiserfs support compiled into > it.

You then do a make xconfig/menuconfig to config the kernel (It can be hard the first few times) and then to build the kernel (debian way): make-kpkg --revision=<pick a personal version> kernel-image You will then get a deb one directory up which you install using dpkg -i kernel-image-<version>.deb Try looking in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz after you install the package. > http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO/index.html > > It tends to be rpm based, but just look for the sources you need: > > apt-cache search kernel-sources |grep -i '2\.2\.20' > might get the package name, but as I stuck working in windows at the > moment, can't be sure. > > Once you have the name of the kernel-source package you want: > > aptitude install <name-of-package> > > That should put it in /usr/src > > And that should be all you need unless you have some patches you need > to apply for other things, but if it is only reiserfs you want you > should be away to the races. > > Btw.
