You need to make sure you apply the linux-2.4.x-VFS-lock.patch, and also
apply this:

--------
diff -Nru a/fs/reiserfs/super.c b/fs/reiserfs/super.c
--- a/fs/reiserfs/super.c       Sun Apr 29 20:44:38 2001
+++ b/fs/reiserfs/super.c       Sun Apr 29 20:44:38 2001
@@ -80,7 +80,7 @@
     reiserfs_prepare_for_journal(s, SB_BUFFER_WITH_SB(s), 1);
     journal_mark_dirty(&th, s, SB_BUFFER_WITH_SB (s));
     reiserfs_block_writes(&th) ;
-    journal_end(&th, s, 1) ;
+    journal_end_sync(&th, s, 1) ;
   }
   s->s_dirt = dirty;
   unlock_kernel() ;
--------

Apply the patches in this order:
 - LVM Beta8 patch
 - VFS-lock patch
 - the patch included in this email
