is there any reason why Reiser4 SFRN 4.0.1-enabled Debian should not

There might be some problems with the endianness of the system.
Yup. Specifically, bitmap code sucks.
I don't remember details though..
Edward.
I have tested Reiser4 on 32bit PowerPC several years ago and as far as I
remember, mounting and using a preformatted partition (mkfs done on an
x86
machine) was possible, but a partition formatted on PowerPC was unusable.
I can repeat the tests, if you are interested.
