[Description Leo Pohl 2004-03-31 23:00:41 UTC]

Short after beginning to extrack the stage archive on an reiserfs root partition, the system hangs and never comeback.

I was able to reproduce this bug some times on my HP 712/60.
with:
livecd-hppa-beta_04.iso
stage3-hppa-20040114.tar.bz2


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. gentoo livecd boot (going to install fdisk,...)
2. mkreiserfs /dev/sda2
3. mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/gentoo
4. cd /mnt/gentoo 
5. tar xvpfj stage3-hppa-20040114.tar.bz2
6. and then it happend, after some files are extracked (sometime more files, sometime less)

Actual Results:  
The System makes boboo, it hangs with no response every where. 

Expected Results:  
being functional ? 
but since my suse times I expect not very much of reiserfs :) 

no info... 
I worked with ext2 without any Problems .....

is reiserfs even supported on hppa?

The beta004 livecd is really old. Could you try with the newer livecd please ?

This one contains a new kernel which fix many things and also, improve scsi support older box like yours by reducing the scsi tag queue.

Btw, I think I forgot the reiserfs support on this livecd but xfs works well. I'll produce a new one soon with reiserfs support etc.

No news in about a month, and the new 2004.2 livecd has hit the mirrors.
Closing as TEST-REQUEST, if you have problems you can reopen this bug.
Thanks.
