You're barking up the wrong tree. No BIOS would know anything about a linux
file system.
Did you make your /boot filesystem reiserfs? or is /boot on the reiserfs of
'/'?
My suspicion is that whatever you are using for boot (grub or lilo) can't
read your kernel from a reiserfs partition, but I might be wrong on that.
