    Hello,

    I just got my first fs corruption too(2.4.3), but using reiserfs on LVM ,
    and the volume group is also on IDE.

    Accessing some /usr/src/linux/... file my system "hang" or just rebooted.
    using reiserfsck "fixed" this for me.

    I'm using the Asus A7V board, but comparable chipset, with the athlon
    1.1GHz.
