I am probably barking up the wrong tree, but did you use a file-backed 
device (i.e. file: instead of phys: in the xen conf file) for any of your 
reiserfs partitions? I have heard from multiple sources that journalled 
filesystems (and that includes ext3) do not play well with file-backed 
mounts (although with User Mode Linux it is said to work OK if the host 
writes to the file using O_SYNC).
