2.4 And 2.217 Kernels
So I have MDK 8.0 running kernel 2.4.2, and I wanted to test a theory I had about my configuration.
I downloaded and configured a 2.2.17 kernel, and when I rebooted, it gave the infamous Linux Screen Of Death:
Kernel panic: Unable to mount root partition
Now I checked eeverything, but then I had a thought, and I need someone to verify it. The 2.2.17 series supported ReiserFS, but at a lower version number. As a result, since my root partition is formated as the newer Reiser FS, the older kernel cannot mount it. Does this sound right?
