I have rebuilt the initrd image --with=reiserfs (no .ko) but I still get a kernel panic: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,2) I named the initrd as initrd.custom.img and it is in the /boot directory and added initrd /initdd.custom.img to the grub line but still a bombout. In fact during a 2.6.5 bootup, it is clearly loading the reiserfs module from dmesg: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal reiserfs: using ordered data mode etc etc It is a bit annoying when earlier kernels worked OK only for RH/Fedora to change within a release - I could understand it better if this was when going to FC3 for example. I have now changed the boot partition to ext3 (ie copied it, mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda1 copied it back and re-installed grub - the grub.conf is the same) but I still get the same kernel panic although I can boot it back in the 2.6.5 kernel OK. Further clues?
