Did you also upgrade the kernel in the underlying hypervisor?  What 
version is it?

Is the guest Wheezy kernel virtual machine aware?

An exact copy of the error in dmesg or syslog would be helpful.

Last, why haven't you migrated that guest (and all such systems) from 
ReiserFS to EXT3/4?  Hans is in prison.  Reiser4 still isn't in 
mainline.  The number of eyes currently on Reiser3 code can easily be 
counted on one person's fingers and toes, maybe just fingers...
