Yes, I thought that, but with 2.2.10 everything was ok... So it's not a
hardware problem. Besides when I don't use X, my partition is clean. I
think it's interrupts problem as many people suggest.
I've no such a problem when I used 2.2.10, and also other problems I
mentioned in messages I sent this week.

Too many people using APUS think that their hardware is faulty...

It's not reiserfs specific problem, remember I've also lost ext2
partition (and then my kernel didn't have reiserfs support compiled in).
