First of all, that severity is inflated. It does not break the whole 
system as you can easily go back and select another filesystem.
Reiserfs has issues anyway in my experience.
Severity normal or important would have done just fine.

I have set up a system (using current daily i386 netinst image) using 
reiserfs for root and had no problems at all. As you provided no 
information at all on your system, we cannot proceed on this.
If you would like to provide us with some system information, please use 
the installation-report template [1] and reply to this bug.

Also, please provide the relevant messages from the logs and try to format 
the filesystem manually from VT2 and see what information that gives.

Cheers,
FJP
