I've hit the same panic looping kernel builds (while true ; do make mrproper ; make allmodconfig ; make -j4 ; done) on 2.6.21.1 with the Namesys patch and reiser4 debug enabled. I've seen it on my amd64 desktop and x86 laptop. Another one I've seen is: reiser4 panicked cowardly: reiser4[fixdep(16043)]: sibling_list_remove (fs/reiser4/tree_walk.c:814)[zam-32245] In both cases the fsck didn't find anything, as you observed.
