I've experienced something very similar trying to install gentoo couple of weeks ago
(don't know if anything has changed since). My problem was that kernel didn't have
built-in support for reiserfs (my '/' partition) and the initrd stuff didn't load it.
I've resolved it by compiling reiserfs into kernel (as opposed to having it compiled
as module). Could it be your problem as well?
