Hello Alex,

first of all you should install a new reiserfsck (get it from=20
ftp.namesys.com). Perhaps even this helps, otherwise there are options like=
 =20
--rebuild-tree and --rebuild-sb. Especially if you need to to rebuild-sb, y=
ou=20
should do a backup of you partition to another harddisk using dd or=20
dd_rescue.

I guess you will get more professional help in the next hours by the=20
reiserfs-programmers... :) However, I think they will first advise you to=20
upgrade to newer reiser-tools.

Regards,
	Bernd
