Settings for Reiser4 filesystem on root?

Hey so I was wondering what the proper settings are for running Reiser4 as my root partition filesystem? I've just finished a stage1 install of it using the lxnay 1.4.4-edge LiveCD.

I configured the latest love-sources kernel (2.6.9-rc4-love1) from the LiveCD. On boot I get the following error:

In fstab

Im not sure about any other settings but i just use noatime for my Reiser4 (which i use everywhere except /boot)

Whatever you do DO NOT use notail, thats just for ReiserFS

In the Kernel

I use ck-sources but iirc correctly just make sure you enable Reiser4 as a supported filesystem

-- there may be more tho, my memory aint too good, also there are Reiser4 tools you need to emerge, i cant remember if those are for just palying about afterwards or if they are required, emerge reiser4progs just to be on the safe side

Try fiddling with the large keys option in the kernel. I read somewhere that files would be binary incompatible if the wrong option was set.
