I'm willing to bet that the problem is your initrd. Do you have "reiserfs" listed in the INITRD_MODULES variable in /etc/sysconfig/kernel. Do you have the scsi driver needed to use the sda disk? Did you run "/sbin/mk_initrd"?
That was it. Yesterday I followed the instructions given here: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/fhassel_grub_lilo.html but somehow the INITRD_MODULES parameter was emptied during my fight to get this working. I inserted reiserfs, ncr53c8xx and ide-scsi, ran mk_initrd and lilo, rebooted and the system came up in a perfect condition. Thank you very much for your help. Best regards, David List
