And I assume that you also ran mkinitrd with the appropriate parameters. If not, then you are either using the old initrd, or you are not using one at all. Either could be acceptable, depending on your hardware....but... > well the kernel panic'd. Didn't boot at all.

I compiled in reiserfs suppport but it doesn't look good! If you compiled in reiserfs to the kernel, the current initrd is trying to modprobe the correct module in. It should not be a fatal error, but in your case, something else is happening. Make a new initrd and make your lilo point to it. Hmmm, you didn't by any chance install a kernel with the same name and it's trying to use the old modules with the new kernel... Blue skies...
