[solved] boot fails after recent update

After updating a load of packages today my system fails to boot with the following message:

Checking Filesystems                                      [Fail]
********************Reboot Required*********************
* The System will be rebooted automatically in 15 seconds *
*********************************************************

Then it just reboots. I can't get past this message.

I did not upgrade the kernel26-firmware package since I run kernel26-ice 2.6.29.

I can't find any logfiles for hints. What could be wrong?

[Edit 2009-07-06]
I checked the filesystems from a rescue system to no avail.

Re: [solved] boot fails after recent update

Oh well - took me a while to figure things out this time maybe the solution helps somebody else.

Since I use reiser4 as a filesystem I had to recompile reiser4progs against the new libreadline in order to allow a proper fsck during boot
