I've read at least two different claims of fs corruption with kernel
2.6.8-1 and reiserfs (i'm running both =), but is not your case. Is
more probable that's a HW problem, sometimes could be a bad or too

P.S. in the latest mm 2.6.9-rc there are numerous references about
reiserfs fix... note to self, keep an updated backup =)
