It looks like you have a problem with some reiser-related binary that is
not on the / partition. There is obviously nothing wrong with hda3 as
ext3 works on it. Which partition hosts the /lib and /sbin directories?

Unfortunately you seem to have been a victim of the off button being hit
at exactly the right moment to cause maximum difficulty :-(

If all else fails you could take the long route:
emerge -e system
emerge -s world
A drastic measure, but it would rebuild everything and almost certainly
fix the problem.
