10:51.49SeverianHow knowledgable?  I have a friend with one and I have played with it a bit.
10:56.46witukinddid you compile a kernel for it?
10:58.51witukindbasically I can't get my ALIX.2d3 to boot with a kernel with pata_cs5536 for some reason. I wonder if it's an incompatibility between LILO and ReiserFS or if I've forgotten to enable something in the kernel config.
11:04.31SeverianNo, we just used a pre-built kernel.
11:05.23SeverianIn general, I stay away from ReiserFS.  Have you tried another filesystem?
11:12.26*** join/#elinux zx80user (n=adrian@80-44-176-198.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com)
11:21.04witukindno I haven't tried any other, I have no problems with it usually
11:21.35witukindthe pre-built kernel of slackware works, but it's not using pata_cs5536
11:22.36witukindeither lilo can't read partition labels with reiserfs on it or there's something else
11:33.36SeverianI have used Reiser on Suse systems with LILO.  So, I know it can support Reiser.  This would be Reiser 3.something.  Is that right?
11:52.46witukindyes
11:52.49witukindReiser 3
11:53.00witukindbut I'm using partition labels
11:53.09witukindthe lilo man page says it supports it
11:53.48witukindbut when you add these labels you would do mkfs.ext3 -L root /dev/hda5 or mkreiserfs -L root /dev/hda5 so I'm wondering
11:55.39witukindI just tested booting the Slackware kernel that works with root="LABEL=root" in lilo.conf and it doesn't work either. So I guess it hasn't much to do with pata_cs5536
11:56.10witukindbut then lilo complains when I use /dev/sda5 instead of LABEL=root or /dev/hda5
11:59.40witukind"Fatal: Illegal 'root=' specification: /dev/sda5"
12:18.31SeverianGood luck.  I am sorry I can't say more.  I'll be custom compiling some kernels for some 5530 systems soon, so I will watch here for other solutions people might give you.
