I have been hit by the reiserfs BUG myself on my laptop, which resulted in me switching BACK to EXT3. ACPI gave me some tweaking issues
(my Laptop CPU would only clock down but not up when used on battery)
and Sound would cut out... occasionally... ahh fixes


By the way... Just so you know, using you run levels is the best way to administer your system. Switch to runlevel 1 for filesystem level and kernel level tasks and network tweaking, then back to run level 3 or 5.... want more ? read the docs.

P.S. File system switching is not something that you need to reinstall for... if you have space on your hard drive, you can use a Live migration techniques... its a standard UNIX paractice....

I had to spend an hour on IRC last night trying to convince some guy that he never needs to reboot except for core kernel changes. He installed Mozilla 1.5 and wanted to reboot.... man the windows mentality bites.... after that Little bit of exposure he thinks "LINUX ROXSSS! " what will happen when he finds out more about it after time ? I wonder
