The upstream's kernel does not have reiserfs enabled. You will need to
enable it and recompile the kernel.  In make menuconfig (or make
xconfig), go to File systems and check Reiserfs support (M).  Or, edit
the .config file and change the "# CONFIG_REISERFS_FS is not set" line
to "CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=m"
