[wellylug] Problem with reiserfs

[Sam]

As Andrej mentioned, the poblem is with the size of the ReiserFS journal.

I prsonally steer clear of any journaled filesystem for /boot/ - given
that its contents is fairly static, there's no point in journaling
modifications.  When installing, I'll use ext2 for /boot/ and either
reiser or ext3 for everything else.

If you're paranoid, sync after changing anything under /boot/.
