    So here is some more to look for:

    Are the following block devices compiled into your kernel:

            IDE, BLK_IDE, BLK_DEVB_IDEDISK, IDE_GENERIC, BLK_DEV_IDEPCI,
            BLK_DEV_GENERIC, BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI, IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO
            + the driver for the chipset used in your pc?

    You mentioned that Reiser is already compiled in but what about:
    MSDOS_PARTITION ?

    And then the almost borderline insulting one: did you remove/ommit the
    initrd specification from your /boot/grub/menu.lst in the entry that you
    boot from?
