Ugh. So is pygrub non-functional on Novell/SuSE systems on reiserfs?
Or are they using a patched libreiserfs?

Well, the patches as presented moved all the reiser/ext2 knowledge into
pygrub itself. I'm certainly not opposed to changes to the pygrub
interface, just to unnecessary replicating of fs-specific code inside
the Xen tools.
