Viktor,
  The problem you are describing is not with Win4Lin running on a 
ReiserFS partition, but is the fact that the Mandrake kernel RPM in some 
cases does not properly load modules from the initrd.  In your case it 
sounds like one of these modules is the ReiserFS module, and you 
probably have a ReiserFS / partition.  When the module doesn't load 
during boot, and the system tries to mount / (without ReiserFS support 
in the kernel) the kernel panics.  The easiest solution is to roll your 
own kernel and be sure to include ReiserFS support.
