Ok, No problems at this point...
(I now compiled reiserfs into the Kernel, not as a module)

Installed Version 0.9.14:
./configure --prefix=/
make
make install
(Description from LinuxFromScratch)

Now I rebooted and after that nearly everything did not work.
I think the cause are these lines (from /var/log/boot.msg) :
Inspecting /boot/System.map-2.6.0-test9
Loaded 25114 symbols from /boot/System.map-2.6.0-test9.
Symbols match kernel version 2.6.0.
No module symbols loaded - kernel modules not enabled.

What does that mean?
(This Problem happened to me some time ago with linux-2.5.x (see the
archives..), but nobody could help me.)
