Well, the error just means the kernel did not find a filesystem it
understood. You've got 3 basic possibilities:
1) reiserfs 3.5 filesystem created by suse 6.3, which is not mountable by
current 2.4 or 2.2 kernel patches.
2) reiserfs journaled filesystem that should be mountable, but the kernel
didn't have reiserfs compiled in correctly
3) no FS at all.
#1 is most likley based on the info so far. You can grab the reiserfs
utilities for the 3.5 disk format, and use dumpreiserfs to see if the old
filesystem is there.
