ReiserFS problem?

I have recently setup Suse 9.0 on a machine and configured
it to be used as a Kiosk station.
I used ReiserFS as the file systems on my 3 partitions I
created. Since I've the machine up we have had two power outages.
The problem is that when the machine starts up again the
file systems don't get mounted and I get brought to the
root login prompt and get asked to login and run
fsck (or reiserfsck). And it trys to replay journals and
do all that stuff. The first time it happened I recovered
and it all worked. Today when it happened it wiped out my
/home partition and everything was lost. Mostly.

I have my work desktop setup with ext3 partitions and the
same power outage didn't affect this box.

I thought ReiserFS should be able to handle the instant
reboots. Should I convert the kiosk PC to ext3? Or am I
missing something in my ReiserFS setup?
