I lost a ReiserFS 3.6 root partition myself just yesterday after a regular, gentle shutdown. I tried to revive it with a Gentoo LiveCD, a Knoppix CD and even a Debian Boot CD but all I got was a "might be a ReiserFS partition but ooops you likely have a superblock error" :-(
I reformated the partition with XFS - no problem since.
