 This is a strange problem that I have explored ever since beta 3 came out.
 I am not sure if it exited before beta 3, since I did not test it as much
 as I have now, but it could have. Anyway.. on with the problem.

 Reiserfs brakes bad with the kernel that came with beta 3 and even the
 newer cooker 2.4.3-17mdk. It almost randomly seems to hang while accessing
 reiserfs filesystems and refuses to do anything. The ONLY solution is the
 reset button. It FOR SURE hangs when creating/accessing files larger than
 2.0G and many files under /usr/share/doc. The files like /usr/share/doc
 "seem" to get away when I reformated the filesystem with the newer
 Reiserfs 3.6 (it was 3.5 before). However, the only way to get hanging
 problem solved (especially with large files) is to use kernels that are
 lower than or equal to the one shipped with 8.0 beta 2.
 Anyone have ANY idea what is going on? TIA.

You may go to www.mail-archive.com to search for older discussion on
cooker list, there was a HUGE amount of complaining and discussion about
this 'glitch'.

 Ok ok.. So I appoligize. As I sent this, I started reading the thread that
 talks about VIA and reiserfs. I still need some explaining thought. I
 don't see why the older kernels work fine and only the newer kernels have
 problems?
