Alpha release of new Software Format Release Number (SFRN) 4.0.1 Reiser4 -enabled Debian Jessie for AMD64 netboot installer ISO image.
Netboot ISO Image may be ‘burned’ to USB stick with command (assuming USB device is at /dev/sdb) *else* modify or you risk data loss:
dd if=metztli.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M; sync
Enables Debian Jessie AMD64 installer to partition, format, and natively install onto Reiser4 root filesystem. Note that you must create a small 100 to 150 MB boot partition (ext2/3/4, etc) as GRUB does not support booting from reiser4.
I recommend expert install; notwithstanding, even in non-expert install mode Reiser4 -enabled kernel & Reiser4progs utilities will be fetched via SSL connection from metztli.it and will be installed by default during last phase of this Debian-Installer (d-i).
If used as rescue media, please don’t forget to
modprobe reiser4
in a virtual screen (ALT+F)
*before* getting to the Debian-Installer media partition/formatting routine

- Jessie (oldstable) installs by default/non-expert option.
- Debian Stretch option available in advanced or expert mode installation.
- Renaming project to Metztli-Reiser4 for Stretch (to avoid issues with Debian tm)
- Installer will now show long (real) full Reiser4 kernel string name in available kernels menu.
- To satisfy nfs-common_1.3.4-2.1_amd64.deb dependencies, installer automatically downloads/installs *our* jessie-backports: libgssapi-krb5-2_1.15-1.1_amd64.deb, libk5crypto3_1.15-1.1_amd64.deb, libkrb5-3_1.15-1.1_amd64.deb, libkrb5support0_1.15-1.1_amd64.deb
- New kernel package: linux-image-4.11.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64_4.11.6-2+reiser4.0.1_amd64.deb
- NEW! elvis-tiny text editor available in Debian-Installer.
- Reiser4 new Software Format Release Number (SFRN) 4.0.1
- Reiser4 (SFRN 4.0.1) Kernel modified for Jessie GCC-4.9
- reiser4progs 1.1.0-1.1 for Debian Jessie AMD64 https://metztli.it/blog/index.php/ixiptli/debian-jessie-reiser4-sfrn-4
- Modified busybox component fetches Reiser4 kernel/utilities via SSL
- May be used as Reiser4 (newer SFRN 4.0.1) rescue bootable media
- FEATURE (NOT A BUG): Select <Yes> to "Continue the install without loading kernel modules?"
- Your Mileage May Vary (YMMV) ;-)
- NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER
- Please click on Files directory for kernel headers:
- linux-headers
- linux-headers common
- linux-kbuild
- linux-compiler-gcc-4.9-x86
- To match an official default Debian installation, *our* jessie-backports nfs-common replaces oficial Debian repository package of the same name --as this latter hangs our Reiser4 hack
- ALL our downloaded jessie-backports packages will be moved to /var/log/ upon a successful installation.
- IMPORTANT: After a successful installation, if you experience latency issues (see < https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=856143 > do:
- apt-get -t jessie-backports update && apt-get -t jessie-backports dist-upgrade
