Subject: 2.6.28.9: EXT2-fs error

_not_ in LKML and feedback only

- Intel Core 2 Dual 6320 1866MHz, 4096kB L2 cache, 4GB RAM
- HD Hitachi 1TB, 32MB on-board memory, ext2
- minimal (only ext2 & minix) static kernel 2.6.28.9
- updated Slackware 12.2

- cdrecord interrupted with many Ctrl-C
- machine hangs long time, no response
- then many, many messages
EXT2-fs error (device sda1): ext2_get_inode: unable to read inode block
- inode=46612508, block=186449923
- then one line
EXT2-fs error (device sda1): ext2_free_branches: Read failure,
inode=46612508, block=186449923
- then no more reaction, Ultima Ratio: Power Switch

Tried the same on a second machine, 100% identical HW and SW
- cdrecord interrupted with many Ctrl-C
- machine hangs for ever, no response
- no error messages on this machine
- after 30 minutes, Ultima Ratio: Power Switch
- after the fsck, the machine didn't reboot, asked for a extra manual fsck
- now rebooted as usual

Kind regards
