There are two problems here.
One is that the filesystem is not umounted correctly, and you are not the first
one having that
problem in 11.3. I insist you report it in a Bugzilla. If you don't like
bugzilla, well, swallow
your dislike and do it, or wait to see if somebody else reports that or a
similar problem and yours
get solved in the near future (days, weeks, months...). Whining will do nothing.
The other problem, triggered by the above problem, is that grub on a reiserfs
is very slow if the
filesystem was not properly umounted. This is known and will not be fixed. If
you want to by pass
it... I will not repeat the solution as you hate it. But it is the only known
solution. So, wait
several minutes for grub to start, it is your choosen poison >:-)
(I'm not sugesting you put / on ext3. I'm suggesting you add a new, small,
partition, of about 100
Mb, in ext2, where you put /boot and grub. It is only a small piece of hell for
you to swallow :-P )
(or do some investigation and find some other supported filesytem type you can
use. Minix? Fat no,
no links)

Understood? >:-)
not a hope in hell or maybe hell will have to freeze over before that happens
ie never ever . :-)
ROTFL! X'-)
Suggestion: disable the splash screen display both on boot and halt, so
that you can see what is happenning.
Well as for it being and age old problem i have never until 11.3 come across
it and i have always followed the same install setup of reiserfs for / and
xfs for /home the only times i have used the ext* junk filesystems it has
always junked my data totally so ther is absolutley no way on this planet i
will ever use ext* at all .
I have had my data trashed completely by reiserfs, by xfs, and by ext3. All

The only reason it is slow is because of the underlying problem of it not
being unmounted correctly in the first place
