Description J. Scott Amort 2004-02-21 18:11:05 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6)
Gecko/20040217 Epiphany/1.0.7

Description of problem:
Updating past kernel-2.6.2-1.81 (i.e. to 2.6.2-1.87 or 2.6.3-1.91) on
FC2 test1 causes a hang during boot while attempting to remount the
root filesystem readwrite.  The root partition is formatted with reiserfs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.3-1.91

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot computer and select kernel > 2.6.2-1.81 with grub

Actual Results:  Boot hangs while trying to remount root partition
readwrite (root is reiserfs)

Expected Results:  Root should be remounted readwrite and boot should
continue.

Confirmed the behaviour with kernel-2.6.2-1.87

The behaviour is quite different with kernel-2.6.3-1.97 - it doesn't
get to the hang, it panics when trying to load reiserfs module -
symbol sleep_on not found.

.99 should fix this up
