yes, I was working on that feature ...

ok, but heh, a 2.2 GB / partition does also work ... for many of us ...

Rubbish. I've installed a system with reiserfs and it DID work!
What did not work if you selected reiserfs as filesystem ?

Are you sure ? It did work for me here.

So your arguments at the moment are ... in my humble opinion a feature request
(to be able to use debian help) and a bug, for which I have found nothing ...
SuSE 7.0 - 8.2 (who btw. do develop this thinigie) does not reboot after
partitioning a reiserfs-partition.
Hm, and I think they have customers, which would have noticed this in 2-3
years time.
What I would think, why your installation fails is more:
- bad ram
- bad cdrom-image (boot with knoppix testcd to see)
- bad md5-sum on KNOPPIX-file
