         What exactly do you mean. (When you mount a reiserfs partition , you can see the journal replay messages -- actually printk's in the kernel -- you wont get them if you set the kernel log level to 1,

       You can't do that, the kernel in CDROM wouldn't have reiserfs support (in case of RH6.1).
