Re: 128G Limit in Reiserfs? Or the Kernel? Or something else?

Its an IDE issue. You need 48-bit addressing to access above 128GB on
IDE drives. I'm not sure exactly what the IDE guys need from you...
Post the output of dmesg, lspci, .config.

Testing the latest kernel would be an idea, if you are not running it.
