Hi, With current git (+ kmemcheck, see below) patches I get the following during boot: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00001108 IP: [<c04effcf>] ext3_sync_fs+0x3f/+x80 I inserted some printks in ext3_sync_fs(): printk(KERN_EMERG "sb = %p\n", sb); printk(KERN_EMERG "sb->s_fs_info = %p\n", sb->s_fs_info); And they show: sb = f7f61e00 sb->s_fs_info = 00000000 Monitorshot: http://folk.uio.no/vegardno/linux/DSCF2905.JPG Config: http://folk.uio.no/vegardno/linux/config-20080501.txt I am booting a USB stick with an ext2 filesystem as root partition. It mounts fine in other machines. It could of course be my kmemcheck patches that are causing this (though I find it unlikely as they are disabled on boot => no-op, and everything was fine a couple of days ago), but recompiling this config takes a few hours, and I thought I'd just post early in case the problem is really with ext3. I can send vmlinux image and/or disk image if necessary. Thanks.
