I didn't want to repeat myself as I had already explained my test in the
previous mail, and the second mail was just to say "the same applies for
lenny". The best is you look at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=362028 message #40.

The problem is not about the filesystem itself, it's not even about grub
reading the kernel from reiserfs, it's only about grub failing to
install at the beginning of a partition that was formatted using
reiserfs. But the filesystem still works fine if I mount it.
