Hallo.
I have problems getting the latest Kernel 2.6.7 compiled for SuSE Linux
9.1 Professional. I have a machine with ReiserFS installed. When i boot,
i receive all the time the Error:

VFS: Unable to mount hdb

/hdb is the Linux hard disk, but why the system is unable to mount it,
is for me very strange. I compiled the kernel twice, with built in
ReiserFS and as module. Why the kernel is unable to recognize the file
system is something i still don't understand.

I created the initrd with:
mkinitrd -k vmlinuz-2.6.7 -i initrd-2.6.7

I removed ext2,JFS,ext3 and left only reiseerfs module and another time 
i built the kernel with reiserfs in the kernel (not as module).

All the time i receive the same message. It's driving me mad!

For any help of your side


Thank you
