hi,
i've just downloaded the kernel-2.4.18-grsec-1.9.4-MEDIUM.i686.rpm an i#ve install the new kernel by rename vmlinuz-2.4.18-grsec-1.9.4 to vmlinuz. and then i start lilo..
atfter the reboot the boot msg are:

cannot load modul ncr53cxxx ( networkdrive i think)
cannot load modul reiserfs ( file system)
cannot mount root system
kernel panic...

supports the download *.rpm _no_ reiserfs filesystem ?

here my structure of the filesystem:
/ = reiserfs
/boot = ext2
/home = reiserfs
/opt = reiserfs

any ideas/hints ?

reiserfs i believe was compiled as a module for that rpm. I simply used a recent Mandrake kernel config and made the RPMs with make rpm. For your root filesystem to boot, the filesystem code has to be compiled directly into the kernel. You'll have to compile your own kernel.
