I experienced the same problem just recently. Part of my setup:

/dev/md0             /                    reiserfs   acl,user_xattr        1 1
/dev/md1             /boot                reiserfs   acl,user_xattr        1 2
/dev/md2             /home                reiserfs   acl,user_xattr        1 2
/dev/md3             /srv                 reiserfs   acl,user_xattr        1 2
/dev/md4             /var                 reiserfs   acl,user_xattr        1 2

I booted with the 9.1 boot cd and went to the update system option and 
accepted all of the default sections. Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to 
what packages it had to install. After I did this I still had the 2.6.5-7.95 
kernel (at least that's what YAST says) but it works with no problems.

I have no idea why this works... I'm just hoping that the info can help 
someone get past this problem.
