Strange.  It'd be interesting to try disabling CONFIG_4KSTACKS.  Also,
please add this to get a bit more info.

hi,

I'll try that. Should I do it with or without preemption?

The CONFIG_4KSTACKS is a more likely suspect than the preemption, actually.

When I read the post from Andrew I remembered some discussion about this and reiserfs, and searched my archives for it:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=108680778325490&w=2

I would start with turning them both off to have a stable working system.

If after that you feel that your life is too boring and you want to live dangerously, you might try with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. If you really want the full adrenaline rush, then go wild with CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y too :)
