Interesting.  Maybe it's due to using lilo rather than grub?

Is your /boot on reiser as well?  Since reiser is not compiled into the 
fedora kernel but is loaded as a module, /boot cannot be on a reiser 
partition.  If this isn't your configuration, then you should create a 
small (100MB is more than enough) partition formatted as ext3 for the 
boot partition.  Everything else can be reiser.
