I encountered the same probleme "Unable to detect root partition when upgrading
from MDK 9.0 to MDK 9.1".
NOTE : My root partition is Reiserfs.
Here are my partition table and my mounted discs :

During the initial stages of the Madrake installer the option to upgrade from a
previous version is selected. The installer then asks what keyboard is required, and
what security level is needed. After the security level is set, a message appears
saying:
"An error occured:
Opps, no root partition found"
The only button available to click is "ok" which reloads the error.
The PC is currently running Mandrake 9.0, installed on an 80GB drive on a Promise U133
raid controller. A 13GB drive is located on the motherboad's controller, with Windows
XP installed. MDK 9.1 Beta 3 exibits the same error, however the error does not occur
with the Mandrake 9.0 installer. The partitions on the drive were originally set up
automatically by the MDK 9.0 installer.
I have tried removing the 13GB drive from the system, but this has no effect.
