We've moved to GRUB 2 as a development platform. Unfortunately, GRUB 2 doesn't support ReiserFS yet.  There's an incomplete patch pending merge, and I expect it'll be available in official GRUB soon.

In the meantime, this bug doesn't apply. I'm closing it.

Hi all. I've got a question related to reiser4, so it may not be your problem.
It's just that I don't know where else to go. I just compiled CVS grub ( legacy ) with reiser4 and splash patches.
Patch is attatched here.
Reiser4 and splash both work perfectly, but now grub can boot only from reiser4 partitions.
I copied the kernel from my /boot to the reiser4 partition and then used it to boot.
Everything worked fine.
However when I rebooted and tried to use the original kernel which is on a reiserfs (3.6) filesystem, things went weird. grub can read the kernel ( tab completion works ).
When I press enter it then complains that " file must be absolute or " bla bla which means it can't find it.
On returning to the grub menu, all the menu text is corrupted ( only the menu entries ) and if I repeat this many times ( by rewriting the boot commands) it starts showing me text from real files on the reiser filesystem ( scary ).
This is a gentoo system, but I compiled everything by hand without any optimizations.
