The initrd image is loaded into memory before the kernel, and when the kernel boots, it loads modules from the initrd image (which is ext2, and yes I have ext2 built into the kernel). Mandrake makes reiserfs as a module, and since it's loaded into their initrd image, I'm able to boot fine with it. But for some reason when compiling a new kernel, and making a new initrd image, I cannot boot.
