HPPA 2004.2 and reiserfs

Hi folks (relative newbie here),
just trying to install Gentoo on a PA-RISC 712/80, and realised I can't use reiserfs, even though the install doc says it's stable on HPPA.

I can create a partition with reiserfs fine, but when I try to mount it, I get the message:

Looks to me like it's just not on the CD.
What do you do to request something like that? would it be a bug?

Sorry bad reply. It looks like it's not compiled as modules or in the kernel. But mkreiserfs was put on the LiveCD.

I *think* reiserfs was put on the one of beta/experimental live CDs: http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Gentoo/experimental/hppa/livecd/livecd-hppa-20040513-32-64-pdc.iso.bz2, but not anymore?

Yeah, reiserfs support is missing on the release livecd.

You should try this new livecd :
