The answer is in what you are upgrading. As reiserfs was an expert only
option I guess it was assumed that you would tread carefully when upgrading
the kernel. If you check the updates page on the Mandrake web site you would
read:
Important: If you use ReiserFS, please don't forget to:
do a : mkinitrd -f --ifneeded /boot/initrd-2.2.16-9mdk 2.2.16-9mdk
in /etc/lilo.conf add: initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.16-9mdk
>- Finally, when upgrading to kernel 2.2.16, i got many problems :
>the package reiserfs-utils.2.2.16_3.5.19.rpm looked older to rpm
>than the current reiserfs-utils.3.5.19.rpm. I perfectly understand
>the error here, but those inconsistencies are nonetheless annoying.
>I finally installed the package with --force by hand. But when
>i rebooted, my system refused to run again, because of the reiserfs
>module not found in /lib/reiserfs (i'm not sure, writing from memory).
>As i could not resolve this by hand, i only managed to put back the

>/boot/grub/menu.lst, all the errors concerning reiserfs disappeared,
>but the system still refused to boot. As initrd.2.2.15.img is not owned
