My phrase "reiserfs.ko located on reiserfs" sounds bad, and
I should
clarify that the reiserfs.ko is contained in the initrd with other
binaries/scripts, and this initrd looks fine from the standpoint of
kernel/reiserfs, but not from the standpoint of grub/reiserfs-emulation.
The logs obtained from serial console don't include anything about
loading initrd, and there is the following detail: a dump created by
debugreiserfs -d shows that the initrd (i_size: 1128235) is represented
by an indirect item (276 4K-blocks), while grub found that this is not
sector-aligned:
Might this be related to the size of the ReiserFS file system?
I tested installs with the default partitioning (100M /boot) which worked OK.
When you had the problem were you using a larger ReiserFS file system?
