Given that there are no messages in the kernel logs suggesting a
hardware problem, it's possible that you're hitting a kernel bug. 2.6.0
is ancient by 2.6.x standards, so it may be worth upgrading your kernel
before wasting too much time with anything else.

Note that I said reiserfsprogs. progsreiserfs is a different set of
tools, and known to be fairly buggy.

Ah, the wait channel has been trunctated... please try that again,
except as:
$ ps -eocomm,state,wchan | grep '[m]ount'
It'll either be io_schedule or io_schedule_timeout.
The fact that mount is entering an uninterruptible sleep (D state) is a
very bad sign, though. Try fscking the filesystem using the reiserfsck
tool from the reiserfsprogs package. I'm not convinced your problem
will disappear, but it's the first thing to try.
