I can confirm that this combination works VERY reliably for me. I also
have the fbsplash patches, which gives that extra polished feel.

I have been using reiser4 since it's release and have had no serious
problems with the fs that I didn't cause myself. The issues encountered
were when I filled up the root partition, things were not handled
particularly gracefully (system started to crawl, very difficult to free
up some space). 
The only other thing was when I accidentally did a fsck.reiser4
--build-sb --build-fs /dev/hda instead of /dev/hda1. After about 30
minutes of running, I realised. After manually rebuilding the partition
table and re-running fsck.reiser4 /dev/hda1, the filesystem mostly
survived, with only a few corrupt files.

Well done reiser4!
