Downgrade: emerge  =sys-fs/reiserfsprogs-3.6.11

To be able to do that you may have to boot, type in root password when 
prompted (fsck fails) and then remount root filesystem rw (mount / -n -o 
remount,rw).

Then, if you 'touch /fastboot' and then type 'exit' or 'ctrl-d', the 
system will reboot and skip fsck.  Then you can downgrade reiserfsprogs, 
reboot and all should work.

That's what I did.

There is a bug report already on this.

Cheers,
Kevin
