I do not know what is included into 2.4.9-21, but can you upgrade to
2.4.18-10 (I think this is latest RedHat errata kernel for 7.x series of
their distro).

up to 2.4.18.

This is hard to tell what have caused this.
Can you please send us reiserfsck output from the same partition,
but take reiserfsck from ReiserFSProgs 3.6.3?
