I'm pretty sure it's not "yesterday's" git kernel. At least, not as far as Linus's git tree is concerned. The "57" in your version number in your dmesg: 2.6.37-rc1-00057-gc3e1500-dirty ... is too small for Linus's git tree as of Friday, November 12th. I wasn't able to track down the git commit ID: c3e1500 so I'm guessing there are some commits from some other git tree involved. However, looking at the BUG_ON which you reported: > Nov 12 23:19:34 draco kernel: [ 997.220452] kernel BUG at fs/ext4/page-io.c:146! I'm pretty sure it's a bug which is fixed as of v2.6.37-rc1-git6, specifically by commit id: f7ad6d2e9 (ext4: handle writeback of inodes which are being freed). Best regards, - Ted
