Has anyone configured the reiserfs loadable kernel module in rhel-3?
I found the below info from the RedHat knowlegebase, I got the modules,
(installed the rpm).

I can do a:

"insmod -p 
/lib/modules/2.4.21-15.0.4.ELsmp/unsupported/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.o"

and it checks out ok. I can probably load by hand with "insmod", cannot
find out any good info on how to configure /etc/modules.conf to get
it to load at boot time. If someone has done this any help would
be appreciated, thanks.

Issue:
What is the support for reiserfs in Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
Resolution:     Last update: 07-08-04

The reiser filesystem is not supported under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 or 
3. It is available, however, as a loadable module (reiserfs.o) which must be 
either manually installed, or added to the modules.conf file.

In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, the module can be obtained from the 
kernel-unsupported package in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 channel on Red 
Hat Network.

In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, the module is included in the regular 
kernel rpm.

Again, the use of reiserfs is not supported by Red Hat at this time.
