OK, when I get home I'll download and install the latest.  3.6.17?

No, that's not the case.  /dev/hdf8 has the problems, but the partition
right after it, hdf9, is also a reiserfs partion, and it doesn't have any
problems.  The partion table for the disk is below.

I'll check out the logs, though I think I had looked in them at the time
and found nothing informative.

root@exsolent / # fdisk /dev/hdf

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 9729.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
