[Xen-devel] Xen and ReiserFS

I am unable to boot Dom0 on a machine with Reiser file systems. Reiser
support is built into the xen0 kernel. I have similar setup with ext3
file systems working just fine, so I don''t think it is a setup problem.
I have tried booting with and without and initrd file, booting with the
original Linux distro initrd file, etc, but nothing seems to work. I
recall seeing a thread about ReiserFS on this list some time ago, but I
don''t remember what the resolution was. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Here''s a snip of the log:

The boot log hasn''t got as far as looking at the rootfs when the 
problems start. It looks like things go bad as soon as the SCSI driver 
starts to run. Does the same kernel work on the same machine if you 
point it at an ext3 system? Or do problems occur when you compile 
reiserfs into the kernel?

I have two identical machines with essentially the same setup, except
one has ext3 and the other has Reiser file systems. The same kernel
build works on the one that has ext3. 
> Or do problems occur when you compile 
> reiserfs into the kernel?Reiserfs is compiled into the kernel by default. I tried compiling it as
a module and making sure the initrd file contains it, but it does not
make any difference.>

Does
the other working machine also use this driver?

Yes. They are identical machines.>

Have you tried ext3 on the system which shows problems with reiserfs?  
If these are hot swap disks, can you swap the disks witht he two 
systems ans see what happens?  It really looks like the "broken" one 
has a scsi HW related issue.

Re: [Xen-devel] Xen and ReiserFS

OK. Mea culpa. I found out the problem was I had ''acpi=off'' as
a kernel
parameters in my grub entry for Xen, due to an earlier problem where it
was suggested to try it. Thanks for the responses.
