Reiser has a good rep. with the SuSE distribution, they have in past sorted
out and tested the kernel changes needed. The difficulties of corruption
with certain 2.4 kernels (it happened with ext2 at about the 2.4pre11 level
as well) is to be expected with a major add-on to the kernel source. I
think it's expected for ReiserFS to actually make it into the main tree,
early in 2.4's cycle, so hopefully this situation will improve, as it
becomes more heavily used by kernel hackers.
Personally I should avoid the hassle of using it for / & /boot, instead make
them fairly small standard ext2. The reason for this is that special
kernels, possibly patched or needing special parameters to boot properly are
fine, until you come to upgrade, or need to recover the system.

Ah, well that makes me glad I stuck with non-usb peripherals (are you the
guy with the rev 1.1 BP6?).
