Me me me me :) 

The box is all scsi except for a ide CD/DVD burner. 

My layout is :

/dev/sde1       /home   reiserfs defaults,notail,noatime 0 0
/dev/sdd1       /mnt/storage reiserfs defaults,notail,noatime,users 0 0
/dev/sdc1       /var reiserfs defaults,notail,noatime 0 0
/dev/sdb1       /opt reiserfs defaults,notail,noatime 0 0
/dev/sda4       /usr reiserfs defaults,notail,noatime 0 0
/dev/sda2       none    swap    defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1       /boot   ext2    defaults,noatime 0 0
/dev/sda3       / reiserfs defaults,notail,noatime 0 0

As a temporary fix just to get this thing up. I booted from rescue, created 
a /mnt/root/usr/bin and copied "readlink" from the resuce to there. So it 
boots now and everybody gets mounted which is what was not happening before. 
Not a pretty fix but well.
