Unfortunately we could not test reiser4 on PPC because of lack of test machine.
Currently no idea where it might fail.

can you look at your machine /var/log/messages or dmesg(8) output for reiser4
messages?

If you have possibility to check the fs by an fsck.reiser4 compiled on i386,
please do it.  If you don't have i386 around or have no time to compile the
progs there, make a small file with reiser4 fs image , compress it and make it
downloadable.
