When formatting a 15 meg /boot hda1 partition as a reiser filesystem, the installer says" An error occurred trying to format hda1. This problem is serious, and the install cannot continue. Press Enter to reboot you system". On virtual console #5, I see " mkreiserfs: can not create filesystem on that small device (3772 blocks). It should have at least 8212 blocks." Thanks, Joshua Jensen
This defect considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax gold-release.
The kernel team has determined that reiserfs is not supported so we will not allow the creation of new reiserfs volumes in the installer. Therefore this bug no longer applies.
