Re: Linux 2.4.6-pre3 breaks ReiserFS mount on boot

[Shawn Starr]

Not /dev/hda42, thats odd. From 2.4.5 -> 2.4.6 ReiserFS would refuse to
mount the drive on startup.

I noticed in pre5 there was a reiserfs fix to something but im not sure if
its related or not.

My domain is also back so I'm going to resubscribe.
