You told that you partitioned linux swap and reiserfs , but that you cannot boot
from the installation cd.
Didn t you partitioned from the cd ?
I m guessing that maybe you meant that you installed from the latest cd but
cannot boot linux from hd afterwards .
(there are "bugs" the grub installer about that, when bios does not see the sata
drives).
Could you explain a litlle more.
