Reiser, eh?  Some versions of grub have a problem with reiser's tail 
packing.  Make sure you mount the filesystem notail.  If you aren't 
already doing this, 'touch' all the files on boot once it is mounted 
notail; you could also do this just to be safe.  If you touch all the 
files, particularly the stage files, you should rerun 'grub-install' or go 
through your standard process for installing grub on the MBR.

Grub ignores that anyway.

Well, make sure your grub.conf / menu.lst file matches the grub command 
line you are giving.  Also, make sure there aren't any stray characters 
(e.g. Ctrl-A or Ctrl-@) in the grub.conf / menu.lst
