so at no time was there any file system corruption?

It appears that way. I hesitate to say for sure, I could have missed it when I booted, but like I said, there is nothing in my logs that would indicate that fsck found anything wrong. I did, however forget to

does reiserfs use lost+found? if so, check in it for each mounted filesystem.


mention this error I got the last time I ran lilo(yesterday).

Warning: Kernel & BIOS return differing head/sector geometries for
device 0x81    Kernel: 62749 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors
      BIOS: 1023 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors

Lilo still finishes and I'm still able to boot into my gentoo and
libranet system.

that's harmless.
