I have no issues whatsoever on this amd64 notebook with 2.6.30 and reiser. It's now on 2.6.31 and still working fine. My ancient x86 file server is still on 2.6.29, mostly as I'd read the same report you did. The problematic combination reported then was x86, reiser, 2.6.30, IDE chipset -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
