My SuSE 8.2 system won't boot, giving the error message: VFS: Cannot open root device "hda3" on 03:03" Booting with the CD or a 7.3 system on another drive, I can mount /dev/hda3 and it looks fine. Everything except the boot partition (hda1) is reiser, and it seems to be finding the boot partition. I tried "boot=/dev/hda3" with the same result. A power failure took the system down. It has been running for over a year and has rebooted successfully many times. I did not change anything recently. (i.e. no new kernel, etc.) The hda3 partition is certainly there, as I can mount it if I boot 7.3 system, but I don't really have any experience with reiser filesystems, so I don't know what to do. I ran fsck.reiserfs (or whatever its name is) off of the intallation CD. It did consistency checks in read-only mode and did not complain about anything. I'm stumped.
