If the partition table has not been changed, and the partition is valid and it really contains a reiserfs partition, then the super block is corrupted and your need to run --rebuild-sb,
Logined as root # e2fsck --rebuild-sb e2sfck: invalid option -- -
I was not allowed to edit /etc/devfsd.conf even login as ROOT
Don't use e2fsck to rebuild a reiserfs partition!
If you can't etdit your file, it must be because your / has been mounted "ro" for maintenance. remount it "rw" to edit it.
mount -o remount,rw /
It seems you can read your partition, so your datas seem to be still there. In this case don't try something dangerous like fdisk or reiserfsck --rebuild-tree like it could be suggested by the boot filesystem check.
first undo your changes in /etc/devfsd,conf and try to boot again.
if you can't remount /, try to boot on the liveCD, mount your partition and edit it.
which partitions are mounted?
I tried cd /boot but could not found /grub/grub.conf there, only an empty folder
Now I am not allowed to reboot nor shutdown with following warning popup
[root@(none) /]# reboot init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl
[rootr@(none) /]# shutdown -h now init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl
