I don't believe the standard openSUSE kernel has reiserfs builtin.
You must either make your root "another fs" (ext3 comes to mind)
or extend the initrd with reiserfs support module(s).

I recently had this on a fileserver which had to be reboot and it
started checking all 10 (!) md RAID volumes it contained (all ext3
formatted). Instead of just a simple reboot , now the server was
ofline for more then 15 minutes (this is a 6 disk - about 1 TB total
- system with RAID 5).

You don't need builtin support of the FS, mkinitrd will add
the correct modules for the rootfs to initrd and this will
happen automatically when you install the system via Yast.

My system has 8 disks and it is busy for more than an hour when it needs
to check them all. Which it has to when I reboot it after a year
or so.
