BTW, tell me if I did not do the ksymoops ok ! Jf. -- [1.] One line summary of the problem: kernel panic while copying files [2.] Full description of the problem/report: When I copy a 450 MB file from one partition (/usr) to another (/tmp) I get a kernel panic. It happens everytime I copy that file. The amount of data copied before the kernel panic is not always the same. These two partitions use ext2fs. [3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel): xx [4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version): The problem happens with kernel 2.4.0-test{1,5,8,9} and it doesn't happen with kernel 2.2.{14,17} I would like to use newer kernels since I want to add XFS support (SGI's filesystem). Although I must specify that my problems are happening even with kernel that have not had the XFS patch applied.
