Re: reiserfs kernel messages

Yes, your filesystem probably has some corruption.  To fix it up, the 
quickest way would be to boot into single-user mode.  If you're using 
LILO, append the options to your kernel "single ro".  For example, if 
your current image name is "linux" type "linux single ro" at the LILO 
prompt (which will appear if you hold shift on boot).

That'll boot your system with minimal services and the root drive in 
read-only mode.  Now run the reiser filesystem check by typing:

reiserfsck /dev/hda1

This is assuming that your root device is /dev/hda1.  Use the "mount" 
command or view your /etc/fstab file to find the root device.

Let resierfsck check the system and correct errors, and you should be 
alright.
