RE: Kernel 2.4.9 and ABOVE

And you don't get these FS errors when using other kernels? Does the system
freeze up or continue as if nothing had happened? File corruption? Disk
continously thrashing?

How old are the disk[s] that you have as it could (my guess) be failing
disks, because I believe I have seen something like it when the
communication between disk and controller became troublesome, ie. a bad
disk. 

Else, I have no idea of what it could be?
