Multi linux redhat + SuSE ,no reisfer FS in redhat linux?

Now I have installed Multi linux OS on my PC,Redhat and SuSE
the boodloader is redhat GRUB.and the FS in redhat is Ext3 and the SuSE is reisfer

Though they all have been in the grub.cof, but the Suse can not be loaded from the redhat grub.

[root@redhat1 grub]# mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/cdrom/
mount: fs type reiserfs not supported by kernel

fdisk -l output:
/dev/sda1 1 65 522081 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 1913 9725 62757922+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda3 9726 9726 8032+ 7f Unknown
/dev/sda4 66 1912 14836027+ 83 Linux

/dev/sda6 * 4725 7335 20972826 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 1913 2043 1052194+ 82 Linux swap

The grub.cf output:

I wonder know how can I boot the reisfer FS from redhat?

thx alot

Ray

Change your Suse entry to something like,

title Suse
root (hd0,5)
kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 vga=788
initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd.img

Make sure the kernel and initrd.img lines correspond to whats on your system or else it wont boot. This should boot Suse and shouldn't give you the reiserfs error. RHEL 3 is based on Fedora Core (1 or 2 I am not sure which) and earlier versions didn't support reiserfs. Fedora Core 3 does, so I assume RHEL 4 does as well.

thx Sir.
I think your mean is to rewrite the MBR by booting from SuSE install CD?

and then change the grub.conf in SuSE ?
Would like give me some more detail process?

It is appriciate for your help.
Due to my product only run on the RedHat

all the files have been in the correct directory,but when I choose the SuSE ,the system said that the FILE NOT FOUND,

is it depent on the grub.conf in SuSE?
because this file is not in the /boot/grub/ but in the /etc/

Kernrl panic !!!

after I change the grub.conf
title Suse
root (hd0,5)
kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 vga=788
initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd

the SuSE can be loaded ,but when the stage run to boot the reisfer FS
the system Kernel Panic

May I check FS? and how to check?

I have been mad with this issue!
I have changed the grub.conf as follew:
title suse
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hdc6 vga=791
initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd


And the SuSE can be booted into signal model,read-only
after I fsck.reisfer and reboot ,the same issue occured
I will be mad!
pls give a hand if possible!
Thx

Ok, on what device exactly is your Suse /boot and /root partition located?

Thx sir !
Both of the /boot/ and /root are all in the same partition /dev/sda6(in suse it is /dev/hdc6,I don`t know why it is different.)

I've never worked with scsi disks so maybe others can help you out. Also do a search on google for grub and scsi disks.

the sda is not a real scsi disk ,they just be named in the /boot/device.map ,acturely it is a IDE drive.


Would you like tell me how to re-install the grub?
I want to boot up the SuSE in rescue model by Install CD.

is it corrected?
