I'm using LILO 21.6.1 w/ 2.4.10 and Reiserfs in my two notebooks: a Compaq Armada 1500c and a Compaq Armada 100S.

Possitive here. Just try to change to new kernel image. I was forced to
install grub after upgrading to 2.4.10.

May be, that it is filesystem dependant (using ext3), but I dont know...
Looks like effect of blkdev-in-pagecache. I saw something similiar in past
when I played with loop-like devices.

Yes, it is blkdev-in-pagecache, and it _should_ be fixed in 2.4.11-pre2.
Please upgrade and give it a try.
