Reiser problem

[Kaste]

Hallo everybody

Trouble never stops . I am still in the process of upgrading all our debian server. This time the upgrade forced me to install a 2.6 kernel in order to get glibc installed. After booting in the new kernel (which was quite a feat in itself) I am greeted by this

#mount /slave/data2/
mount: Operation not supported
#dmesg
....
ReiserFS: hdb1: found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal
ReiserFS: hdb1: using ordered data mode
ReiserFS: hdb1: journal params: device hdb1, size 8192, journal first block 18, max trans len 1024, max batch 900, max commit age 30, max trans age 30
ReiserFS: hdb1: checking transaction log (hdb1)
ReiserFS: hdb1: Using r5 hash to sort names
ReiserFS: hdb1: warning: xattrs/ACLs enabled and couldn't find/create .reiserfs_priv. Failing mount.

I assume the new kernel has ATTR suport built into it and the reiserfs partition doesn't support it. So i enabled it via the reiserfs tools but to no avail. Please give me a hint

Someone please give me a pointer. Normally i would just reboot into 2.4 and dump the data off the hd onto another but this is not possible in this case.

Reconfiguring the kernel to not use ATTR would be a hassle as well.
Isn't there a cleaner solution to this?
