I found when installing Suse 7.2 pro on my laptop and configured much the
same way (reiser for /, /boot, /home, everything) that it worked fine for IDE
disks, but if /boot was Reiser on a SCSI you had to load teh ReiserFS as a
module and boot using initrd.
Unless I'm TOTALLY confused, and have probably totally confused you all!
