If you already booted into this....well...do not reboot
I will commit a fix when i find it. Will keep you up2date.
If you have to reboot, change to runlevel 1 with init 1 and remount root readonly.... i didn't do it and nothing happened,
but something strange happens on shutdown when unmounting the partitions......

Why do you mean losing the pc for some days? You always can have the stable kernel also in grub. And all in all these kernels are not that unstable. So just boot it and if everything works you're fine, if not just boot the old good kernel.haader wrote:Maybe this is the wrong place for asking this, but how do you do it? Do you guys all just try out the new kernels on your normal, "everyday" desktops or do you use some other pc or do you have a second, stable linux running on the same machine?
I would also like to support this by trying the latest kernel aso. but i can't afford losing my pc for some days or be without network, as i need it for school!
Thanks in advance!

reiser4 is not that stable we all should keep in mind. But it's techology quite rocks...Cinder6 wrote:lol, it seems like I always have to wait when a new kernel release comes out, due to silly reiser4. Oh well.

You're using your data and root on reiser4?Tiger683 wrote:YeahI'm risking my data with this one every time i reboot
just to find out the patch didn't do the trick....i kind of got nowhere for now :/
All kernels after 2.6.12 have reiser4 1.0.5, so you already are a long-term 1.0.5 userepic wrote:one thing though, reiser4 related.
I am a happy reiser4 camper at 2.6.15-nitro3 atm.
but i guess this release is 1.0.5, which has reported trouble( see first lines of http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Update_reiser4_partitions)
I have also heard and read in the reiserfs list that the first release of 1.0.5 was a real screwup and that
later releases of 1.0.5 has fixed alot of the problems.
if 2.6.15-nitro3 is 1.0.4(which i kinda guess it is) and i want boot this kernel, would i need to use the method described in http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Update_reiser4_partitions to upgrade to 1.0.5?
in that case i doubt i can find a livecd with a stable 1.0.5 on it(the newer 1.0.5 the more stable it is) to do the job.
So how should i go about running this kernel ?
