Reiser4 support is totally removed in grub-0.97-r2.ebuild. It should be made available through a USE-word (a good one would be "reiser4" or "reiser4-boot". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Update to latest grub. 2.Reboot. Actual Results: I'm not able to boot since grub cant read my boot partition. Expected Results: Booted!

Since I was glad to finaly see reiser4 support in grub I immediately tried it (converted my /boot to reiser4) and it worked like a charm (that is, I booted without any problems). I've also tried this modified version of grub-0.97-r2.ebuild and it also works. So I can't see why u can't leave support for us who likes it. You could mark the reiser4 use word with a comment that tells people it's unstable. # Copyright 1999-2005 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-boot/grub/grub-0.97-r2.ebuild,v 1.1 2005/11/10 02:37:12 vapier Exp $ inherit mount-boot eutils flag-o-matic toolchain-funcs PATCHVER=1.1 DESCRIPTION="GNU GRUB boot loader" HOMEPAGE="http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/" SRC_URI="mirror://gentoo/${P}.tar.gz ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/${PN}/${P}.tar.gz mirror://gentoo/splash.xpm.gz mirror://gentoo/${P}-patches-${PATCHVER}.tar.bz2" LICENSE="GPL-2" SLOT="0" KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~x86" IUSE="static netboot custom-cflags reiser4" RDEPEND=">=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2-r5" DEPEND="${RDEPEND} >=sys-devel/automake-1.7 >=sys-devel/autoconf-2.5" PROVIDE="virtual/bootloader" pkg_setup() { if use amd64 ; then if ! has_m32 ; then eerror "Your compiler seems to be unable to compile 32bit code." eerror "If you are on amd64, make sure you compile gcc with:" echo eerror " USE=multilib FEATURES=-sandbox" die "Cannot produce 32bit objects!" fi ABI_ALLOW="x86" ABI="x86" fi } src_unpack() { unpack ${A} cd "${S}" # patch breaks booting for some people #111885 if !(use reiser4); then rm "${WORKDIR}"/patch/400_* fi # patch for reiser4 support from ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiser4progs/grub #if use reiser4 ;then # epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-reiser4-20050808.diff #fi if [[ -n ${PATCHVER} ]] ; then EPATCH_SUFFIX="patch" epatch "${WORKDIR}"/patch # a bunch of patches apply to raw autotool files autoconf || die "autoconf failed" aclocal || die "aclocal failed" automake || die "automake failed" fi } src_compile() { unset BLOCK_SIZE #73499 ### i686-specific code in the boot loader is a bad idea; disabling to ensure ### at least some compatibility if the hard drive is moved to an older or ### incompatible system. # grub-0.95 added -fno-stack-protector detection, to disable ssp for stage2, # but the objcopy's (faulty) test fails if -fstack-protector is default. # create a cache telling configure that objcopy is ok, and add -C to econf # to make use of the cache. # # CFLAGS has to be undefined running econf, else -fno-stack-protector detection fails. # STAGE2_CFLAGS is not allowed to be used on emake command-line, it overwrites # -fno-stack-protector detected by configure, removed from netboot's emake. use custom-cflags || unset CFLAGS export grub_cv_prog_objcopy_absolute=yes #79734 use static && append-ldflags -static # build the net-bootable grub first, but only if "netboot" is set if use netboot ; then econf \ --libdir=/lib \ --datadir=/usr/lib/grub \ --exec-prefix=/ \ --disable-auto-linux-mem-opt \ --enable-diskless \ --enable-{3c{5{03,07,09,29,95},90x},cs89x0,davicom,depca,eepro{,100}} \ --enable-{epic100,exos205,ni5210,lance,ne2100,ni{50,65}10,natsemi} \ --enable-{ne,ns8390,wd,otulip,rtl8139,sis900,sk-g16,smc9000,tiara} \ --enable-{tulip,via-rhine,w89c840} || die "netboot econf failed" emake w89c840_o_CFLAGS="-O" || die "making netboot stuff" mv -f stage2/{nbgrub,pxegrub} "${S}"/ mv -f stage2/stage2 stage2/stage2.netboot make clean || die "make clean failed" fi # Now build the regular grub # Note that FFS and UFS2 support are broken for now - stage1_5 files too big econf \ --libdir=/lib \ --datadir=/usr/lib/grub \ --exec-prefix=/ \ --disable-auto-linux-mem-opt || die "econf failed" emake || die "making regular stuff" } src_test() { # non-default block size also give false pass/fails. unset BLOCK_SIZE make check || die "make check failed" } src_install() { make DESTDIR="${D}" install || die if use netboot ; then exeinto /usr/lib/grub/${CHOST} doexe nbgrub pxegrub stage2/stage2.netboot || die "netboot install" fi insinto /boot/grub doins "${DISTDIR}"/splash.xpm.gz newins docs/menu.lst grub.conf.sample dodoc AUTHORS BUGS ChangeLog NEWS README THANKS TODO newdoc docs/menu.lst grub.conf.sample } pkg_postinst() { [[ ${ROOT} != "/" ]] && return 0 # change menu.lst to grub.conf if [[ ! -e /boot/grub/grub.conf && -e /boot/grub/menu.lst ]] ; then mv -f /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/grub.conf ewarn ewarn "*** IMPORTANT NOTE: menu.lst has been renamed to grub.conf" ewarn fi einfo "Linking from new grub.conf name to menu.lst" [[ ! -e /boot/grub/menu.lst ]] && ln -snf grub.conf /boot/grub/menu.lst [[ -e /boot/grub/stage2 ]] && mv /boot/grub/stage2{,.old} einfo "Copying files from /lib/grub and /usr/lib/grub to /boot" for x in /lib/grub/*/* /usr/lib/grub/*/* ; do [[ -f ${x} ]] && cp -p ${x} /boot/grub done [[ -e /boot/grub/grub.conf ]] \ && /sbin/grub \ --batch \ --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map \ < /boot/grub/grub.conf > /dev/null 2>&1 }

Hi Mike, I'm sorry but I don't understand the current situation anymore, this bug has been marked as dupe of bug #69590 which has been closed because the reiser4-patch was included, however the reiser4-patch was removed due to bug #111885 which resulted in this bug, I'm getting in some sort of loop but it seems that reiser4 is out of grub and no bug is open to get it back in. What to do? Open a new bug for re-adding reiser4-support to grub? Regards,
no Bug 69690 is for tracking reiser4 in grub i really have no intention of re-enabling reiser4 in grub at all edit the ebuild if you want it
ok, thanks for clearing that up, I will wait for upstream support and until then create a seperate bootpartition, thanks!
