Hi, 

While trying to boot from a restored OS, grub complains 

 Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83

and won't boot. 

What does it means? partition type 0x83 is Linux partition, and reiserfs 
is one of Linux file system. Why grub still complains? How can I fix it?

This is not the first time that I bumped into this. Please help.
Thanks.
