Lets see here, I deleted the Error15 post - sorry if anyone wasted their time reading that. I fixed my grub.conf file. But, I have an error I don't know how to fix. During my boot sequence I get the following errors;

*checking root filesystem
fsck: fsck.Reiserfs: not found
fsck: error 2 while executing fsck.ReiserFs for /dev/ROOT
*Remounting root filesystem read/write. . .
*Setting hostname to allen . . .
*Calculating module dependencies. . .
*Checking all filesystems . . .
fsck.ext: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/BOOT
/dev/BOOT:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else) then the superblock is corrupt
and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock;
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
*Fsck could not correct all errors, manual repair needed
give root password for maintenance or Contol D to continue:

I set up my partitions in fdisk with hda1 as ext2 and hda3 as Reiserfs:
I tried mounting the partitions after loading the live cd and ran
df -h -T and here is the output:
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Mounted on
/dev/ROOT Reiserfs 56G 1.1G 55G /
proc proc 56G 1.1G 55G /proc
sysfs sysfs 56G 1.1G 55G /sys
udev tmpfs 56G 1.1G 55G /dev
devpts devpts 56G 1.1G 55G /dev/pts

Here is the output from my fdisk /dev/hda after running a live cd
The number of cylinders set for this disk is set to 116336
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., Dos Fdisk, Os/2 fdisk)

Any thoughts?

UPDATE--
I ctr D and got an error on the swap also but it kept running and I think I am in gentoo.

I am emerging kde now. I am not sure if I have problems or not?

It looks like you're missing the reiserfs apps like fsck, and your fstab file hasn't been edited.

Code:

emerge reiserfsprogs

nano -w /etc/fstab
