I don't know whether this is your problem or not; the following is
required for using a reiserfs /boot with grub. The /boot partition
should have been mounted with -o notail; if not, the structure of
the files and journal records are different, and grub can't cope
with that. If this is the problem, copy your /boot files somewhere
else, umount the /boot partition, make new reiserfs on the
partition, moun /dev/hdx -o notail -t reiserfs /mnt/xxx, copy back
the /boot files you preserved.
Since you are using Lilo, the problem may be that you need LBA32 or
some tinkering with your bios?
