Another reiser problem (failed init)

[prince_kenshi]

I've managed to get it to where it will commence booting now. But it stops soon after it stops. Just after it mounts the root filesystem (successfully), it gets a kernel panic because it cannot initiate a console. I copied all my subdirectories over to the reiser root partition like this "cp -av /bin /reiser/" excluding /root, /proc, and /mnt. All the data appears to be there. What could possibly be freaking Linux out now?

I don't know what makes it stop but I did the same thing last night. Did you remember to run lilo from the new partition and edit fstab from the new partiton? I think you have to give the -r option to lilo, so it would be like this:
/reiser-partition/sbin/lilo -r /reiser-partition

Hope this helps.

I have changed the new fstab. Why do I need to run lilo from the new partition? Can't I just change it on the old partition and run it from there? As far as it's making it, I don't think it could be a problem with lilo.

Again, it was a stupid mistake on my part. When I was editing lilo.conf, where it says root=, I set it to my new /boot partition instead of /. Changing this fixed it up and now I'm using reiser for the first time. Thanks for the help.
