That notail is your problem. changing it to defaults would be your best option.. notail is for /boot partition only..

Did you double-check your fstab?
Yes , too many times
As I said , I don't think there is any problem in my fstab because I can boot with the old kernel
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda2 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda4 / reiserfs defaults,noatime,notail,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win ntfs auto,ro,umask=000,iocharset=utf0 0

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto,defaults,umask=000,iocharset=utf8 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for # POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). # (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will # use almost no memory if not populated with files) # Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

This didn't help me :(
BTW: I changed the line mount / -n -o remount,ro &>/dev/null in /etc/init.d/checkroot to mount / -n -o remount,ro
and reboot my PC so I got this message : mount: / not mounted already or bad option
Any help?
(Remember I can use my old kernel without any problem)
Have you compiled in support for your root filesystem (in
the kernel,
not as a module)?
Yes I have compiled reiserfs
BTW: Right now if I reboot my PC with my new kernel I got :
mount: / mounted already or bad option
and the system stop and ask me to type the root password and when I login with the root and type
mount -o remount,rw /
I got the same message
mount: / mounted already or bad option
but if I write
mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda4 /
then the root filesystem if remounted as read/write
