I was getting this error when installing the kernel and did not have

The Eroor is about an unknown symbol "sleep_on" - its an error about a driver,
not about the working with the file system, I think.
Do you get a grub entry and an intird image for the kernel?
I got it, everything worked fine for me (installing, grub entry), htere was
just the Warning, not an Error.
The reiserfs problem that I saw on one of my other computers would
cause
a system lockup when a reiserfs mount, was selected on boot, through
/etc/fstab. If the reiserfs volume mounted, after computer was booted
successfully, the volume could not be unmounted. I could do other
things, except unmount reiserfs and poweroff the computer successfully.
For me mount is unable to mount reiserfs volumes, translated in english there
is a error message like
Filesystem >>reiserfs<< is not supported by the kernel
unknown symbol sleep_on
everytime I try to mount reiserfs, also at startup, when the skripts are going
through fstab.
No system lockups, no problems with unmounting (their is no partition to
unmount).
