Booting my machine with vanilla 2.5.3-pre1 ( obsiously with corrected
headers inclusion fix ) i've got and error from UMSDOS layer reporting a
failing msdos_read_super() ( at boot ) and a panic about a failure to
mount root. The interesting thing is that i do not have any msdos mounts,
least of all root.

This might be the problem with msdos_read_super mistaking a reiserfs
superblock for a FAT superblock, as discussed in a lkml thread starting
Jan 13 14:38 -0800 with subject "Boot failure: msdos pushes in front of
reiserfs" from Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@stud.uni-dortmund.de>.

I'll look into, thanks.
Linus, if something that solves this shows up let me know ...
