Everything look like reiserfs support is not compiled in your kernel. It should work if you add reiserfs to your INITRD_MODULES list and run : mkinitrd Reboot, it should be OK. Michel.

There have been a few people with similar problems before, the current thinking is that the mkinitrd package has a bug in it. Try downgrading mkinitrd to the version on the CDs and rebuilding the initrd
