Hi, How 'bout this. I changed my /boot to reiserfs, which killed lilo. At boot lilo would go LI and hang. Booting from a rescue CD and trying to rerun lilo didn't work - lilo complains that the map file is bad. Which is weird, I did have it running on one of the previous incarnations (this is the 7th reinstall since Friday). Anyway, switched that back to ext2, rebooted and tried to install X 4.0.2. Onto a reiserfs filesystem. I get this: Extracting Xetc.tgz into a temporary location ... == Extracting /mnt/src/X/Xetc.tgz == kernel BUG at inode.c:376! invalid operand: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<c018fe09>] EFLAGS: 00010282 Fun, huh? Time to apply patches... -Yaron --
