Problem booting kernel 2.6 w/ Reiserfs

[spam_bank]

Hi,

I have a stock Fedora FC1 system except that my root partition is reiserfs instead of ext3. I have installed the 2.6.1 rpms from arjanv's packages and made the necessary changes to fstab. However, upon reboot, the system freezes at

Remounting root filesystem read-write

I have isolated this problem and basically, the command,

mount -n -o remount,rw /

is freezing.

Does anyone have any experiences with this problem? Also did anyone get the 2.6 kernel working with a reiserfs root partition?

Thanks,

Robert

Amazingly this seems to have been a problem since 2.5.x days (and backported to 2.4.x) and is still unfixed today.

Sorry for the bad news.

This is really bad news... at least now i know why i struggled for hours getting this too work.

Are there any known workaround? After converting my root and home partition and don't want to do the same to my data partitions.... (i hate ext3;)

Or is a vanilla kernel the only solution?
