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.

Both are showing no corruptions and no error messages from reiserfsck.
There are those who insist that Reiser is infallible and the problem is in your harddrives. I have had similar problems with my Reiser partitions on different machines doing flakey stuff and requiring the rebuild-tree thing to get right for awhile. My solution to the problem was to no longer use reiser. I've had Zero problems with drives since then. AND, no loss of data or hangs since. Reiserfs may be perfect but I'm perfectly happy not using it anymore. The choice is yours. I'm out of the debate over whether Reiser is perfect or not. Richard
