I have just yummed updated my FC2 installation and moved from 2.6.5-1.358 to 2.6.10-1.12_FC2. Except it barfs when I boot with a kernel panic. The cause is that I have /boot formatted as reiserfs and, unlike the earlier kernel, it tries to mount /boot as ext2. I guess reiserfs is set as a module rather than compiled into the kernel. Apart from copying /boot over, remaking the filesystem and copying it back - or recompiling the kernel - what kernel parameters should I give to ensure that the kernel will load reiserfs before trying to mount /boot? I have tried simply adding reiserfs to the kernel line in grub but this doesn't work. I can't get the module command to work - the module is on a non-boot partition that is also reiser and since it hasn't loaded reiser, it can't find it. Any clues?
