 |

Help!
the latest ck-sources and mm-sources kernels available in the portage tree don't seem to support reiser4, whereas the older version did. Now I'm stuck with a laptop with reiser4 partitions and no kernel. How do i get reiser4 support now? |

You can try using the reiser4 patch for gentoo-dev-sources...I have no idea how well that may or may not work, however...

You can use the patches for 2.6.9-rc2-mm1, which should work after fixing minor rejects or the patch from 2.6.8-mm2 at Con's site (2.6.8.1-ck7)
BTW, 2.6.9-rc2-mm1, 2.6.9-rc1-mm5, 2.6.8.1-ck7 DO support Resier4, what's the problem then?
If you can't see it, check if 4K Stacks are DISABLED (in Kernel Hacking). Reiser4 is incompatible with that yet. |

See the notes on the ck threads: Con (ck) has decided to take out R4 support to reduce his work load and let those who do derivatives put it in if they like.
There is something like a "klak" kernel derived from ck that does just this.
Nitro (not a ck derivative) seems to be fairly strongly committed to R4 and I find it to be very reliable.
I sue this kernel. There is one out just a fews days back , but I like to let the paint dry before I install a new kernel patch set.

Actually nitro (at least the 2.6.9 RC's afaict) has been based directly off CK's patchset.

Well I guess that's what they call a kernel OOps.
In any case nitro is all its name suggests and has consistently supported R4.
So the basis of what I said is accurate.
If you need/want R4 it's probably a good choise.

ck-sources 2.6.8.1-r8 even wont run my reiser3.6.
it boots but simply stalls (the reading application) often while reading directory-information...  |

I included the reiser4 patches from 2.6.9-rc2-mm4 in my patchset (vanilla-based, Con's scheduler patches inc. staircase 8.2, reiser4, and elevator-switch), so I'm positive it's in mm. I'll be posting an update to my patchset once I get the chance to test it (the update, that is).
My guess is you have 4k stacks enabled, as suggested by AstralStorm. |

I just tried this on the ck9 and it works. The patch process it self had a few snags, it was saying files already exist, what do you want to replace, I just pressed 'y' on all of them and at the end it said 1 hunk faild, but the kernel had r4 support in iit, it compile fine and I am emerging xorg-x11 on it now. So everything seems to be working.
