It must not be a reiserfs problem alone.

I booted into hda5 and did a reiserfsck --rebuild-tree on /dev/hdb6 (original
partition with messages).
When I booted into hda5, with a new reiserfs format, I got similar messages
with dmesg.

I booted into hdb6 and did a rebuild-tree on hda5.

Both are showing no corruptions and no error messages from reiserfsck.

The messages now are slightly different, but the interval is still less than 1
minute between entries.
