Description:   Opened: 2004-10-31 02:54 0000 
The namesys webpage provides a patch for grub make it aware of reiser4:

ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4progs/grub/

This version of grub works for me. I would like to see it in portage tree.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge grub
2. install grub on reiser4 partitions
Actual Results:  
grub can't be installed as it can work with reiser4.

Expected Results:  
It should be possible to install grub on reiser4 partitions.

Sorry, I'm not going to add reiser4 support to grub any time soon. It bloats
the stage1_5 stuff too far on many systems, regardless of target file system,
rendering them unbootable.

Why not make it conditional on USE="reiser4", for example?

110_all_grub-reiser4.patch I'm going to attach at this bug work on x86.
It's tested and running here (sys-boot/grub-0.96-r3).

It apply to sys-boot/grub-0.96-r3 and grub-0.97 (vanilla) .

since it's already a certain time reiser4 is in mm kernels, and it will reach
vanilla ones some time in the future may be a good idea to add it.

vapier, added you after cat-ting the ChangeLog ;-)

with the patch.

Why isn't there an option to reopen this bug. It should be reopened since the
fix is removed.

------- Comment #11 From Johannes Christenson 2005-11-15 08:28:38 0000 ------- 
Now there is a option to reopen this bug, but apparently I'm not authorized to 
do so. Could I be authorized, please!
