Sorry if this is not clear. > Here is the point, I think. I'm afraid that you don't really access any *real* partition. If it were so, that partition would have an identifying *device* name. You access something within an image for an emulating program that you interpret as a partition but not the kernel. So it cannot access the superblock of it in its buffer and recover bh->b_size to go on properly. It recovers something else. And this triggers the oops.
