With livecd-20030114 i get a kernel oops when i work on reiserfs disks, the 
oops always happens in the reiserfs code. I tried different ram, scsi cards, 
etc and finally used a 1.4 rc1 cd and it worked fine.

note: i used this cd elsewhere with no problems so it might be the scsi 
causing it, i have an adaptec 2940u2w and the driver used is AIC7xxx. I tried 
several cards and the same thing happened. The hardware is mostly generic 
except for the scsi card.
