What kernel are you using?
With the 2.4.18-{arch} kernels in Woody you will need to 'modprobe
reiserfs' before you can mount if your system is already running. It
is not a bad idea to add a line with 'reiserfs' in /etc/modules if you
are not booting from a reiserfs file system (the initrd image should
allow you too boot from such a file system, I've never done it though,
being partial to ext3).
The 2.2.x kernels in the Woody install series do not support
reiserfs. Go ahead and install 2.4.18 for your processor (apt-get
install kernel-image-2.4.18-{arch} should do it for you, where {arch}
is your architecture).
The bf2.4 kernel has it built in (and I suppose you are not running it
since you can't mount....).
Cheers!
