Hi Christian,

i have had the same problem with a K6-2/333 working on a reiser partition. 
After inserting an additional harddisk and using XFS the problem was gone.
But i don't know wether this is a known problem or has something to do with 
the used reiser version (comes with SuSe 7.1).

Greetings 
Stefan.
