Install errors, reiser3 messages

[Clifford Beshers <clifford.beshers@linspireinc.com>]

We recently rewrote our installer to use a custom program that can 
stream a compressed iso9660 image file and unpack it to disk.  
Previously it used rsync.  Everything seemed to be fine, but when we 
started running it on many machines, we started encountering errors like 
the ones shown below, the output of dmesg.

At first I suspected it might be that the kernel hadn't re-read the 
partition table, but on several installs we did not create or modify 
that table.

Anyone have any guesses as to what is going wrong? 

Again, this is reiser3.
