Root is fine. Just have it compiled into your kernel.
The only problems I've had is with boot loaders. Support for ReiserFS in LILO
and GRUB are a little experimental at the moment, as far as I know. Just make a
small ~10M ext2 filesystem at the start of your disk for /boot. It makes things
simpler for other reasons as well.

As far as I know, it's still a problem but is being worked on. Check Kernel
Traffic (http://kt.zork.net/ ? ) for summaries of weekly traffic on the
linux-kernel mailing list.
