grub can't handle ReiserFS.

Which is probably one of the reasons why SuSE uses a RAMDISK with an EXT2
image to start Reiserfs based systems.
Jeremey take a look at the SuSE boot sequence the first root filesystem is
EXT2 and it is a RAMDISK.

But it is supposed to according to the docs.
Support multiple filesystem types
Support multiple filesystem types transparently, plus a useful explicit
blocklist notation. The currently supported filesystem types are BSD FFS, DOS
FAT16 and FAT32, Minix fs, Linux ext2fs, ReiserFS, JFS, XFS, and VSTa fs. See
Filesystem, for more information.
Cheers,
Dave

Works for me: Debian with stripped-down (non-initrd) 2.6.8.1, root and
home are reiserfs. No other filesystem types..

May be you have non standard reiserfs journal size? If so, then you
probably want to apply special patch for that...

Salut,
> grub can't handle ReiserFS.
Grub handles reiserfs just great. It works even so well that the X-Box
Linux project pulled the Grub reiserfs code into Cromwell to make it
work.
