We have the reiserfs module in the initial ramdisk in such setups.
You need to recreate the initrd in those cases.
(Run "/usr/libexec/modules/mkinitrd.sh 2.4.7" in the /boot directory, this
will create /boot/initrd-2.4.7.gz.)

ReiserFS is experimental in the 2.4 series, thats why we ship with a big
disclaimer and with checking enabled.
(And before you argue again, we ship 2.4.2-ac26. Since then several major
bugs have been found in reiserfs, including the knfsd lossage.)
