1)I unpack the 2004.3 stage1 in my athlonxp 2000+, mount /proc and chroot in it 2)I go through stage1, stage2 and stage3 without problems and emerge everything I need 3)I compile and install the kernel sources (see below) 4)I unmount /proc 5)I boot my laptop (pentium 2 333Mhz) with the latest Reiser4 LiveCD (stable; using nitro-sources) 6)I create a Reiser4 partition on /dev/hda1 and mount it 7)I mount the chrooted partition via NFS 8)I launch cp -afv to copy everything on the Reiser4 partition 9)launch lilo and reboot everything is perfectly fine until now. However, at boot I get /sbin/rc: line 397: 1087 Segmentation fault and the system goes into manteinance mode. $ cat etc/make.conf CFLAGS="-Os -march=pentium2 -mmmx -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" USE="-gnome -qt -kde -oss -arts alsa directfb dvb erandom fbcon fortran gtk gtk2 kerberos ldap mmx mozilla ncurses network nls no_wxgtk1 nptl offensive pcre pic real rtc skey slang ssl xvid xvmc" FEATURES="sandbox ccache digest distcc fixpackages userpriv" PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage bash-2.05b$ cat etc/portage/package.keywords sys-kernel/mm-sources ~x86 sys-kernel/nitro-sources ~x86 media-video/mplayer ~x86 media-libs/win32codecs ~x86 sys-apps/hibernate-script ~x86 sys-apps/baselayout ~x86 app-shells/bash ~x86 sys-apps/sysvinit ~x86 before upgrading to ~x86 baselayout, I tried with the x86 version obtaining the same result. I've both tried with the latest mm-sources and nitro-sources. Yes, I already did etc-update.
I've switched to ReiserFS v3 and all goes ok.
Try w/out Reiserfs4 and using a livecd we provide. I'm afraid that the problem is due the kernel you are using. Marked as invalid, reopen if still applies using other kernels/fs if you are aiming at performance try ext3+dir_index
