The 2.4.1 kernel contains the reserfs kernel modules, but not the tools.

Let's see, fetch reiserfs tools, compile and install them...

Just because I can (using some spare partitions):

% df -Th /mnt*
Filesystem    Type    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part2
               xfs    238M  144k  238M   1% /mnt
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3
          reiserfs    102M   33M   69M  32% /mnt2

% uname -a

(this is my dual-Celeron box).
