Yes, boot pricess gave ma an error message (don't remember any more) and
left me with a prompt.

It was unwilling to mount it (still don't remember error message).

As it was unwilling to mount, I have no idea.

After it was unwillint to mount it, yes.
It repoted a lot of note cecking/fixing line (by the way it warned me
several times that ReiserFsck is totaly unstable and might destroy
everything before it was starting to check the partition ...).
After that I was able to mount the partition again, but it was totally
empty !!! :-(
As a result I ran mke2fs on that partition, remounted it and created some
directories to get able to start my system again. It was a nightmare
(I thaught sometines I would be sitting on a Window$ system, as all my
data went away with no possibility to get it back).
As a result my laptop only runs a stable file system (aka ext2) and I
never had such problems ...
