I don't know if it is architecture specific or not.
I have seen this on an xeon box with reiserfs on /.
System worked fine with a 2.6.8 kernel.
Installed the linux-image-2.6.15-1-686-smp and rebooted. System hung trying
to start syslogd. After some time, system continued to boot but no
syslogging. I got weird error messages having to do with uid/gid when doing
things with sudo.
At about the same time, I saw a message on debian-user (I believe) having to
do with attribute errors with reiserfs and 2.6.15. A work around was
proposed and subsequent follow-ups suggested that errors still persisted. I
didn't pursue the solution, since the machine is located 1000 miles from me
and the machine would still work fine with 2.6.8. I also heard that a fix
was in the 2.6.16. I decided the easiest course of action was to wait until
2.6.16 and try again.
