I'm using Mandrake 8.0 also, and I don't know if it was due to something I
did wrong, or just a problem in general, but I found that if everything was
Reiser FS, it wouldn't boot. My way of getting around it was to create a
30M /boot partition (bigger than will probably be needed :) formatted as
ext2, and then everything else (/home, /usr, etc.) was formatted as Reiser
FS.
HTH.
