hello,

I attempted to install gentoo from the cd last night.  I had no
problems at all creating the base system, only when I was trying to
boot it.  I get a kernel panic as it tries to mount the root
filesystem (08:02).

I only have scsi drives in my system.  I thought that scsi drivers
may not be compiled into the default kernel image, so I recompiled
the kernel (2.4.1-pre8) which is on the pre-2 cd, with those drivers.

When I rebooted, all my scsi devices were detected, but I then got
another kernel panic on mounting the root fs.  

My root partition is reiserfs, and I think the kernel does not know
how to mount it.  My question is, is reiserfs in 2.4.1-pre8, or do I
have to get some patch?  I configured using the menuconfig option,
but I did not see reiserfs in the list.

Thanks,

-tj
