 kernel upgrade and can't mount root filesystem I upgraded vanilla sources from 2.4.19 to 2.4.20 and it went fine. Then when I tried to upgrade to 2.4.21 I get the error on reboot: Root filesystem could not be mounted read/write.

Yes, my root fs is reiserfs, and I included that. What's more, it gets to a point that I am able to log in, so it is atleast reading /, just many things fail after the "Root filesystem..." error. -- "Like the Internet, Linux is the next open, freely accessible standard around which the IT and developer world is rallying.
