I finally figured out the problem.  The kernel line in grub.conf 
contains root=LABEL=/ and fstab has a matching entry.  This "mount by 
label" method does not work with reiserfs.  I booted up in rescue mode 
and change LABEL=/ to /dev/sda2 in both grub.conf and fstab.  That fixed 
the problem and my system now boots without problem.
