2.5.68-mm4 and 3c900 is a horror
2.5.68-mm4, but something less extreme from now on
There are many kinds of these... the trouble seems to be with the Ethernet card, a 3com 3c900.

Some 200 filenames, like:

(stg stands for storage, a 20GB partition with miscellaneous stuff)
After that it seems I got tired of waiting (the machine acted as if it was doing nothing, i.e. locked, reacting to nothing) and pushed the reset button.
How should I refine my error reporting? I'll now go and see if all my ReiserFS partitions are ok.

Very odd. How often does this happen? Once a minute? Once a second? Every packet?

May 2 20:34:10 minjami kernel: irq 19: nobody cared!Very odd. How often does this happen?
Actually I was booting up for the first time with -mm4 as it happened. The first 8 errors I copied verbatim, and the 22 that happened after the 8th but before the machine locked up I left out. So my guess is that whatever happened there, happened every time.
The system is set so that it runs kdm on boot, and opens a PPPoE link from /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot with
pppd pty "pppoe -I eth0 -m 1412" debug defaultroute
The screen went black, which is normal in itself, but the X background didn't appear. Neither did it switch virtual consoles, or beep or anything while I tried. Just can't remember was my display in sync or not, but either way, pressing any (many) keys didn't put it in sync or out. The kernel I was running in my previous boot was 2.5.68-osdl2, and 2.5.68-mm4 was also compiled while 2.5.68-osdl2 was running. All userspace stuff is neatly set up, and with ordinary 2.5.68 (and 2.5.68-osdl2) everything works fine, with the exception of ALSA. OSS works.
The ReiserFS partitions didn't complain on next bootup.

Well I don't see anything wrong in there, but this should shut it up for you.
