RedHat has stripped out support for ReiserFS in their enterprise Linux products. It appears the unsupported CentOS kernel supports ReiserFS. Doesn't anaconda and the kickstart boot kernel also need to be enhanced to support ReiserFS as well?
thanks for any help.

That is not supported for install ... only if you add a reiserfs partition after install.
Under install of RHEL or CentOS type;
linux reiserfs
And you will be able to install and format ReiserFS file system. BUT be aware, ReiserFS is not SELinux compatible.

It is better to have SE Linux. EXT3 is not that bad.
All i wanted is a journalling File System.

I know EXT3 is journalling. What I was telling was, to me what matters is a journalling FS.
Reiser FS is journalling. EXT3 too is.
SO I would go with EXT3. I hope you got what I meant! :P

That's the first thing I tried because Fedora supports it this way. This does not work with RHEL, though.

Ohh. Then im' sorry. I have only tried it in Fedora. I didn't know they had disabled it in RHEL.
My apologies.

Yep. Remember, SLAs ... SLAs ... SLAs ... They don't want to even give you the option. ;->
With that said, XFS _does_ support SELinux. XFS has typically supported everything Ext3 has, and even more early on (e.g., quotas, POSIX ACLs correctly, etc...). SGI ported XFS whole from Irix, and like Ext3 (from Ext2), it's design hasn't been changed from its core structure since the mid-'90s.
ReiserFS wasn't designed with UNIX/inode/meta compatibility in mind, hence why there are issues with feature/service compatibility until someone writes some wrapper/mitigating code.
JFS was ported from OS/2, not AIX (because of IP concerns with Monterey -- this was before IBM pulled out of Monterey), so they had a massive amount of code to put back in for UNIX/inode/meta compatibility that they are still working on.

I would be really surprised if this works, considering there is no ReiserFS support in the -BOOT kernel.
You need to make changes in the anaconda code as well as rebuild the install images in order to have reiserFS/ xfs etc avaialble at install time.
One option, that usually works well, is to have a small'ish install partition for the OS, and post install build your data / storage volumes with whatever filesystem you want, using the CentOSPlus kernel on CentOS4, or the kernel-unsuported on CentOS3.

I browsed and grepped throught he source code of Anaconda and loader.c for both CentOS and Fedora 4 for all occurrences of reiserfs and xfs. Code in Anaconda and loader.c in CentOS still has support for ReiserFS and XFS (same in Fedora Core 4), however xfs and reiserfs arguments passed (from isolinux/syslinux) do not work in CentOS. The kernel runs loader which then runs Anaconda so I don't see anything else that could be stripping out "xfs" or "reiserfs."

Did you pass in the switches with an ISO that boots the CentOSPlus kernel ... or the standard kernel?
The standard kernel has all those items turned off in the config files. The CentOSPlus kernel has them turned on.
