Based on what I've found with Google, it's acting like the kernel does not have reiserfs support, but I don't think that's the case either because the "failsafe" boot, which boots the distributed kernel using the distributed initrd, exhibits the same problem.

Not sure what you mean here, but by default, 'failsafe' boots exactly the same kernel, with exactly the same initrd as the default, only with a few parameters that make it more likely to boot properly in situations where for example acpi makes it fail Are you absolutely certain you haven't had a recent kernel update? There has been some kernel bugs lately. Try creating a new initrd, just for the hell of it and see what happens
