Reiserfs bug? Builld problem?

[COFFMAN Steven]

I'm at a bit of a loss despite researching the list and various howtos,
and I was hoping that I'm missing something simple that someone might
notice.

I'm running a dual boot Windows 2000 (NTFS) and SuSE 7.3 Linux (Reiserfs)
box with
a 40 gig hard IDE drive (no SCSI devices). To get to Linux I use a boot disk
with lilo, but I'd like to install grub into the MBR and still be able to
get
to both Win2000 and Linux.

I created what looks like a correct menu.lst, but when I run 'grub-install
/dev/hda',
I get an "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition"
at the "setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 --prefix=/boot/grub (hd0)" step.

I read on this list about the bug with Reiserfs so I then upgraded from the
grub 0.5.96.1 that came with SuSE to the grub 0.90-11 that comes with Red
Hat 7.2
and got the same result. I tried to manually patch and rebuild that version
of
 grub from their SRPM, but I get only get to the "GRUB requires a working
absolute objcopy; upgrade your binutils" message. The binutils that SuSE
ships
is newer than RedHat 7.2's, so I can't see how they were able to build and I
can't.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just an RTFM with a
pointer
to the right  FM. I've included my 'sfdisk -l hda' and 'cat menu.lst' in
case I
left out a pertinent details.
