oh, no that's not what I said.

I had:

/dev/hda1 on / type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/hda3 on /usr type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/hda5 on /home type jfs (rw)

the deadlock was there. I then changed to

/dev/hda1 on / type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/hda3 on /usr type reiserfs (rw)
/dev/hda5 on /home type reiser4 (rw)

still deadlocking, so it wasn't jfs but reiserfs.

Anyway I wiped out the reiserfs partitions, it was starting to become
really annoying sorry.
