7.1 ships with a kernel with Reiser enabled, but that kernel also has the
reiser debugging code enabled which severly impacts the performance.  Also,
as Rob mentioned, it's not the *MAIN* kernel that you have to worry about
if you do an install, it's the *BOOT* kernel that has to include the
support for Reiser/ext3.

There's an update disc floating around from a site in Brazil IIRC that
includes support for installing Reiser.  Sorry, I don't have a link to
it...

We're willing to take patches that do this.  ;-)  Unfortunately, it's not
just adding a couple of lines to a config file to acomplish this...
