Thanks. :) I used the Testing (etch) nightly snapshot and it worked OK. However, there is a minor annoyance that should be addressed before the next Stable release. When selecting Reiserfs for root partition, /etc/fstab gets created with the "notail" mount option even when it is not selected during install. Noatime is fine and desired (and was selected) but notail on a Reiser v3 filesystem is a waste of space due to no tail-packing.
Also, the Ethernet device detection order could use some work; eth0 should be the motherboard Intel 1000 (it showed up as eth2 with DHCP); there is also a PCI card using the 8139too driver, which got detected as eth0. There is no 3rd ethernet device. Referring back to lspci: [[ 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573V Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 03) 07:02.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet (rev 10) ]] The motherboard Ethernet device is 1st.
