Well, I created a chrootable rc6 build image for the system team, and the rest is up to you guys. Right now, Pete and Chad are working on whipping the rest of sys-* into shape. Chad is handling sys-libs/pam and I'm guessing that alkaline is going to start by ripping out multilog and replacing it with a non-DJB product. Currently, we are using kernel 2.4.6 and the most recent ebuild we have is the 2.4.7-vanilla kernel. I was planning to upgrade to the most recent kernel a bit later on once our sys image is finished. Note: cvs.gentoo.org has a VIA KT133 (686b) chipset and doesn't have any ReiserFS corruption problems. So does my development box. cvs.gentoo.org is using kernel 2.4.4-ac9 and my dev box is using 2.4.6 currently. You may try turning off DMA to see if that helps.
