Does the kernel detect the harddrives?

I presume your rootfs is an UDF filesystem?

unknown-block(3,3) doesn't seem to good, so did you make your own kernel or did
you use genkernel?

the .config file from the kernel could be nice to have

I fixed it, i went into the make menuconfig and changed the filesystem format 
to reiserfs supported and disabled jfs, works fine now sorry for the waste of 
time :-D
