I can indeed confirm this bug. It is not related to lvm however. It also
seems to be the same bug as #202933.

I have tested both installing from the beta cd and upgrading from gutsy. I have 
also tested both the 32 bit and the 64 bit 
version of Hardy beta. The problem seems very consistent:

- When putting /var on it's own partition the reiserfs partitions are 
efficiently corrupted (except from the / (root) partition) 
- Booting in rescue mode (i.e. omitting usplash) does not corrupt the reiserfs 
partitions
- Using ext3 in stead of reiserfs also "fixes" the problem. 

This definitely supports Jason's narrowing down of the problem to
checkfs.sh

Keeping in mind that reiserfs was the first journaled file system on linux and 
that it for some years was the default file system of Suse 
one should assume that still a lot of sys-admins stick to reiserfs. Therefore 
it would be a disaster releasing Hardy without fixing this issue.
