Because here it doesn't exist. Hmm, you did emerge jfsutils? (Yes, you said that "the remaining filesystems fsck fine", but journalled file systems do not really need to be fully checked, they just need to replay a few journal entries, and fine.) The problem I had here with reiserfs upon an irregular shutdown, was that the root partition mounted okay, replaying several journal entries, but the boot scripts refused to mount the home partition, seemingly because it was uncleanly unmounted. I've sidestepped this by changing the localmount script, to simply explicitly mount the home partition, and now all is fine after a lockup (experiments with a driver): journals get replayed and it boots on. Maybe the scripts are doing something similar wrong for you, but for the root partition, refusing to mount it because it is unclean and it gets confused by the journal?
