I tried to access a reiserfs volume and it would not mount, as you 
experenced. The grub and intird image was alright. Is there an SELinux 
aware reiserfs module being created with a different name? (sereiserfs 
or similar named)

I was confusing the vmware kernel installation problem with the native 
installation error with reiserfs. The vmware kernel error fails to 
update grub entries, make an intird image, instead of just issuing a 
warning about reiserfs. (sleep_on)
