You guys are great, figuring thios out would have
taken many beers :-) This really helped, now I could
shoot a picture of the boot screen if I still needed
to (as someone else suggested) but...

... my install claims to load reiserfs kernel module
for the default kernel. I plaid around with Suse 9.e
packages from Garloff's page. It worked there. Thus I
Think it muts be hidden either in the initrd or some
config file.

You ar perfectly right: it does not. So John's
solution is the way to overcome thisone (add panic=xx
after showopts in grub menu.lst file).
