It is not (AFAIK) grub problem. Obviously, reiser allows for several files
(fragments) in one block (to conserve space?) Grub does not like it.
Documentation for Grub suggests mounting reiser with notail option. That's
very nice ... the only problem is, it does NOT chage existing file
allocation, so if you happen to have not-sector-aligned file, it remains.
I got the same problem after I converted to Resier (I have a single
partition) and wanted to give grub a try.
bad luck ... so much about grub being the best boot loader ...
