In general 2.96 seems be troublsome. I believe 2.95 is the prefered kernel 
compiler currently.

Reiserfs FAQ:

 I am using RedHat 7.0 with gcc 2.96; why does ReiserFS seem unstable with it?

 The choice of an unstable unreleased version of gcc 2.96 by RedHat as the 
default gcc was a big Slashdot controversy. gcc 2.96 on RedHat 7.0 is 
unstable, and ReiserFS is one of the things that will fail for it. RedHat 
won't admit they made a mistake by releasing it before it was ready to ship, 
and the gcc folks won't admit that RedHat released it for them by putting it 
on the CD. As a result there are two gcc 2.96's, one of which may work, and 
the other (the one on RedHat 7.0) surely does not. You'd think they'd just 
admit to having made a mistake, apologize, and get on with it, but.... Read 
the Linux kernel instructions about what compiler to use. Persons who think 
that we shoul wd make our codeork for broken compilers should post on the 
kernel mailing list and see what the other kernel hackers think of that one. 
We think the same.
