Yes it complained:

# mount /dev/sdb5 /walk1
mount: fs type reiserfs not supported by kernel

Here is the steps to get reiserfs support working:

Get and install the single, (and multiprocessor if needed) rpms's:

kernel-smp-unsupported-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL.i686.rpm*
kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL.i686.rpm*

These are under the main AS or WS channel.
Then reboot the machine and mounting reiserfs file systems
simply works!

We were upgrding a machine that had 4 disks, the
system disk was ext2/3, the other 3 drives were all
reiserfs filesytems. And that is why I need the reiserfs support.
