The Eroor is about an unknown symbol "sleep_on" - its an error about a driver, 
not about the working with the file system, I think.

I got it, everything worked fine for me (installing, grub entry), htere was 
just the Warning, not an Error.

For me mount is unable to mount reiserfs volumes, translated in english there 
is a error message like

Filesystem >>reiserfs<< is not supported by the kernel
unknown symbol sleep_on

everytime I try to mount reiserfs, also at startup, when the skripts are going 
through fstab.
No system lockups, no problems with unmounting (their is no partition to 
unmount).
