I've tried specifying an initrd (the one in /boot) with grub, too, and there's the same problem, though the kernel does say that it found a ramdisk before it hangs on the root filesystem.
The kernel doesn't have built-in reiser support, you need the reiserfs module in the initrd. Do you have that?
I'm not sure. There's only one initrd in /boot, and it's whatever Yast put in there. I'm just doing this: kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 initrd /boot/vmlinux-2.6.8-24.10-default.gz boot There's not something else weird that I have to do to get it to use the initrd, is there? I don't generally use an initrd, so I could be screwing up the syntax somewhere...
Now, using grub's tab completion, I can see that the device nodes /dev/hda1 and /dev/pts are where they should be. The root filesystem is fine. What I'm wondering is, does the default 9.2 kernel not have reiserfs support?
No suse kernel has ever had that built-in
