reiserfs messages on root partition at system boot time

reiserfs messages on root partition at system boot time

[Sewell, Cassandra D (Cassandra)]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5779 bytes --]

I am seeing the following messages on a system I have at boot time.  This system 
is running the 2.2.17 kernel w/ RFS 3.5.32.  I am awaiting delivery of the harddrive & 
will be executing the fsck on this drive (along with some hw diagnostics) but was hoping to get an indication as to what these messages may be indicating.  I do not see any hardware errors in the 
system log file.

Hello!

version 3.5.32 is way too old, there are never versions available.

Hm, this device is of zero size. Very strange.

One more zero-sized partition.

And third zero sized partition.

Hm, hard to tell about this one.
What does reiserfsck (pick latest one!) says about /dev/hda11?

This one mounted ok.

So it seems that several extended partitions are corrupted
(or just missed - you have not posted relevant part of the log).
These are /dev/hda12 /dev/hda13 /dev/hda14.
