I upgraded a system from FC1 to FC4 from CD and used smart to upgrade it
from there
using atrpms.

The two kernels I have installed at the moment are:
  vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
  vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2069_FC4
2.6.11 boots fine but when I try to boot 2.6.16 I get an error during the
boot process from
reiserfsck. It reports "getmem: out of memory" and aborts leaving me in the
'repair filesystem'
menu (when I enter the root password).

At this point any attempt to run reiserfsck gets the same result.

The 2.6.11 kernel reports:
Apr  9 13:42:46 tvsrv kernel: ReiserFS: dm-0: found reiserfs format "3.6"
with standard journal
Apr  9 13:42:46 tvsrv kernel: ReiserFS: dm-0: using ordered data mode
Apr  9 13:42:46 tvsrv kernel: ReiserFS: dm-0: journal params: device dm-0,
size 8192, journal first block 18,
                       max trans len 1024, max batch 900, max commit age 30,
max trans age 30
Apr  9 13:42:46 tvsrv kernel: ReiserFS: dm-0: checking transaction log
(dm-0)
Apr  9 13:42:46 tvsrv kernel: ReiserFS: dm-0: Using r5 hash to sort names
and starts up fine.


Would converting the filesystem to reiser4 help?
