Make sure you don't have the "notail" option enabled in /etc/fstab . 
 
Also, make VERY sure that you have enable ReiserFS support in your kernel, and your 
kernel installed properly (I once forgot to copy kernel to /boot :o)

Looks like a notail issue. Closing as invalid.

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
