I report this in the hope that it might be useful. My machine crashed
yesterday with the following messages. It was sort of alive, but not
responding to network connections and when I tried to log in as root, Init
said it was unable to fork(). At that point I hit the reset switch. If you
need other info please ask.
System: Cyrix i586/333 with 32MB RAM, ALi Mobo. OS: RH7.2/server with
kernel.org 2.4.18pre1 kernel + Speedtouch USB patches. System disk is a
single Fujitsu 30Gb IDE disk runing ext3.

That's the first time this has been reported. Conceivably,
ext3 has corrupted the journal_head. More conceivably, some
other part of the kernel scribbled on it. Most conceivably,
your memory flipped a bit.
Best I can suggest is that you give the machine an overnight
run with memtest86.

I'd go complain to the speedtouch people, as their driver has some known
problems.
Good luck,
greg k-h
Funny this came up, I just got a similiar error just last night and I
did track it down
to being bad RAM so I would take a look at that.

I gave the machine a 2-hour run with memtest 2.9. It passed one basic test
and 3 extended tests before I decided the website the machine serves just
had to get back online :-/
I suppose I could try again sometime, but with 0 errors from memtest, I
would prefer not to if I can...
