I've made a partition, about 1500 MB. -Boot 2.4.16-->fdisk-->reboot-->boot 2.4.16-->mkreiserfs-->badblocks -n -vv (no "..accesbeyond of device)-->reboot-->boot 2.4.17-rc1-->badblocks -n -vv--> no "..access beyond of device"

Now I'll compile 2.4.17-rc2 and I'll run reiserfsck --rebuild-tree. I think this will sove the problem. But nobody knows know why it happened. I'll try to test if I can reproduce the bug, but I don't think I can.
