After trying to upgrade again after rebooting, the panic occurred
again at the same time, upgrading libc6.1 to 2.2.5-1.

        After that, the shared libraries were corrupted and I was stuck in
Linux's dll-hell. For the benefit of others who might get this problem, here's
what I did:-

        aboot> boot vmlinuz-2.4.17 root=/dev/hda5 rw init=/bin/sash
        ...
        > cd /var/cache/apt/archives
        > -mkdir x
        > cd x
        > -ar x ../libc6.1_2.2.5-1_alpha.deb
        > -gunzip data.tar.gz
        > cd /
        > tar xvf /var/cache/apt/archives/x/data.tar.gz
        (verify /bin/ls works)
        SysRq-B to reboot

        As for causes, I don't know that much about the internals of reiserfs,
but could it be that the driver or its helper process mmaps libc?

Greetings,
Michael.
