i have 4 partitions on my linux.
- / (ext2, 10mb)
- linux-swap
- /usr (reiser)
- /home (reiser, it 'reisered' since i got 2.4.1. kernel)
if you notice my / is small because i made symlinks from /usr for
/tmp, /opt, /mnt, /cdrom, /var etc (its 2.5gb /usr)
the biggest part of my / partition are 2 kernel which i put on /boot
and / (why i put my kernels to /vmlinuz is a different story :))
and i Always failed to make my / become reiser.
the error boot-initial message would be
"no init found. try passing init option to kernel"
if i move my / to a reiser partition (i also keep the ext2 / for
backup and put them to lilo.conf, and edit my fstab)
sometimes, this 10mb ext2 really annoys me, even it only took secs to
fsck :)

yep, backup is always good.

did you put reiserfs as a module ?
my suggestion is to make it include to the kernel.
as you see, you and i have similiar problem, failed to boot from
reiser partition.
