When booting the system with reiserfs as root it crashes with a NULL pointer (see attachement). Last "working" kernel was 2.6.30-rc5 (which had a regression with xattrs).

There are some more reiserfs xattr patches pending: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/10/91 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=for-next (see also bug 13122) One of these patches fixes a potential oops when a file is deleted and xattrs are disabled. I don't know though if this is this bug here.

Hi, the patches seem to have solved this issue. The kernel boots now.
