Just tried compiling (manually) 2.6.8-rc1-Redeeman2, and got the following error during make bzImage. 2.6.8-rc1 and 2.6.8-rc1-mm1 applied cleanly.
------------------------------------------------------------------
CHK include/linux/compile.h
UPD include/linux/compile.h
CC init/version.o
LD init/built-in.o
LD vmlinux
fs/built-in.o(.text+0x7c7c5): In function `ent_writes_page':
: undefined reference to `PageActive'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
I checked my 2.6.7-Redeeman7 fs/built-in.o file, and there is no PageActive reference, so I tried replacing the file in 2.6.8-rc1-mm1-Redeeman2 with that one (probably a wrong procedure), but that didn't work. Still got same error.
Any ideas?

i actually know this error, and i just forgot to change in the patch..
open fs/reiser4/entd.c
search for PageActive
you will see:
PageActive(page)
inside a if, change it to:
(PageActiveMapped(page) || PageActiveUnmapped(page)) |

Thanks Redeeman,
That fixed it right up! I'm renicing x to -10, but have one question.
With one of my other kernels (the latest xx-sources) it's advised to put this in /etc/conf.d/local.start, to renice. However, it doesn't renice x, so I'm wondering if when booting with Redeeman kernels, this line needs to be commented out, or not. In other words, will this conflict with anything in the Redeeman patches, or instead have a beneficial effect?
mount |awk '/reiser4/{gsub("/dev/","",$1); system("pgrep "$1"|xargs renice -19")}' >/dev/null
this renices these items to -19
145 root 5 -19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.01 ktxnmgrd:hda6:w
146 root 11 -19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 ent:hda6.
4597 root 5 -19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 ktxnmgrd:hda7:w
4598 root 11 -19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 ent:hda7.
4599 root 5 -19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 ktxnmgrd:hda8:w
4600 root 11 -19 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 ent:hda8.

I'm a noob and most of this stuff is over my head. But I thought I might try it as I've been following the forum a bit on problems with alsa and the 2.6.7 ? kernel and other issues. So I was hoping that by grabbing the latest bleeding edge I might get around some things.
I've got a Abit IS7 board with SATA on one hdrive and an SATA adapter on an IDE second hd. It has a 3com 3c940 Marvell network chip that gives most live CDs the slip. I have a 1.4 gentoo with kernel 2.6.0-test11 installed on the ide drive (using SATA adapter) that is working fine and Suse 8.2 on the SATA main hd.. dual boot either Suse or Gentoo. I want to blow away Suse and use it as my main desktop and use the ide drive for music files, etc. Or maybe keep it as a test Gentoo as well.
Anyway, I guess I include the stuff above in case I'm barking up wrong tree. I tried booting to the cd from the above link and it did not find a network chip (I suppose a modprobe sklin98 might work) but I got an error that others with SATA have had last year (when searching the forum for the error):
after booting:
| Code: |
ATA1: command 0x25 timeout
scsi1: error on channel 0, id 0, lun 0
ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on Port 0x1f7 |
or something to that effect.. just took some quick notes.
Any work arounds or should I do a different liveCD? Appreciate all the work here! cheers, Hunky |

<0>Kernel panic: Fatal exception in interupt
In interupt handler - not syncing |
It looks to me like this has something to do with the agp irq but if anyone here knows how to make better sence of it and can tell me it was not reiser that would be great.
Is there anything specific that I should do to check reiser4 after a crash?
This has happened twice, I am going to take Preemtive Kernel out of my kernel and see if that helps since I don't know what else to do, could this be it?
And while I am feeling frustrated, could some one post a some what straight forward step by step explanation of how to do the Redeeman patch with the mm-sources, and which ones, preferably 2.6.5 at least.(I need that for my dri patch to my radeon igp) |
today, I solved this problem after I searched gentoo forum. It seems that it was caused by this option,
| Code: | Kernel hacking --->
[*] Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb |
deselect this option, and compile kernel again.
Now I am using kernel-2.6.8 patched by redeeman
After recompiling the kernel with this above configure, now it works well. No kernel panic again. Very weird. |

Many thanks Redeeman!
Just used your livecd on my new 5400rpm laptop drive, and it rocks. Install seemed to go fine, will install X and Gnome tonight.
Can't believe how quick emerge sync is now!!!! |

dumb mistake: forgot I wasn't chrooted from the livecd and exited my livecd (root) login session. Catalyst livecd's scramble the root password... how can I log back in as root to properly halt?

I myself just reboot back into the livecd and reset the root password - no worries here  |

Sorry if this has been said some where else; just quickly searched, and glanced over the 7 pages on this topic.
I just used your livecd today on a new box I'm working on, only thing I had a problem with was [ALT+F2] [ALT+F3] ect... didn't have autologin. |

The current LiveCD's don't auto-login anymore (even the official ones). You have to set the password for root in the first terminal, then login on the others. |

Any idea why reiser4 partition is smaller than reiserfs or xfs partition...??
If I use reiserfs or xfs my partition size is 48.3 Gb and if I change to Reiser4 it's only 45.8 Gb...It's not big difference, but any idea why..?? |

Same problem here. In fact, the only LiveCD I've ever used that supports SATA correctly with a working libata was, in fact, the first Reiser4 LiveCD. I'm surprised the the v2 one doesn't work. Anybody have the v1 iso? I borked my Gentoo installation the other day (rather stupidly I might add) and I'd like to reinstall it, but I can't find my old v1 LiveCD. I need to install it on an SATA drive because that's the only drive I have with any amount of free space. |

Meh, this livecd doesn't even boot on my box. The official 2004.2 cd boots just fine...bummer
So FYI, I'm running an HP Netserver LPr with a 3SI Raid Card (scsi) and this LiveCD stops at
"VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(3,65)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-clock(3,65)"
Those errors occur with or without the DOSCSI option so I can't even boot up to the point that I could "modprobe megaraid" like I've needed in the past. |

I also meet this problem
and I found that if i type kernel in boot:
I got the sam error with you
but if I type nothing,just press "enter",it booted fine. |

| Any chance of an encore release of LiveCD with reiser4progs-1.0 as the on disk format has changed? EVMS would be really helpful, if it has not yet been added. |

I've been trying to use isolinux to create my own bootcd, but I'm running into a lack documentation block. For example, how does one go about creating a boot.cat file? Anyone know of some really good docs for creating a boot cd with programs (like reiser4progs in this case)?
