I upgraded reiserfsck and tried again. Now a note appears that I obviously created my partitions with an older version of reiserfsprogs and that the journal header was fixed. Otherwise, it behaves similar, the last message is "Replaying journal" and that hangs forever.

Yes, but only very few work: after ^C and PrintScreen a prompt appears: "press Control-D for normal startup or enter root password" (something similar; ^D works well) and SysRq-... work normally (magic key). > What was screen looking like at the hang time (can you capture it somehow?), That's very difficult, no consoles are active at that time. There are no error messages and no messages that don't appear with 2.4.x, apart from the warnings about missing module stuff. I can photograph it if you want. > can you press sysrq-T at the time of a hang and then send us the traces? That's even more difficult, it produces several screenfulls of text scrolling away very fast. I'd need a serial console for this purpose but it will last a while to set this up since I don't have the necessary hardware here. I could do it tomorrow. Thanks and have a nice day!
