OK, thanks.  Pause the video at 0:30 and one sees an oops in
ext3_handle_error().

I'll reassign the report.

I expect 2.6.30 will do the same thing :(

Well, the machine obviously has some serious problem. Just before the oops,
there's a message "bad entry in directory #565751: rec_len is smaller than
minimal" and then dump showing all entries are zero. This is quite early during
boot (udev has just started, we loaded keyboard maps and then oopsed). Given
this is some live DVD I believe some memory corruption is happening. The oops
is probably on dereferencing EXT3_SB(sb)->s_es which again shouldn't pose a
problem.

I've read the details you've posted to the forum referenced above and you write
there about a memory conflict of your Nvidia graphics card and "lots of memory
errors during the boot". So probably that should be resolved first. Sadly I
cannot see the relevant message in the recorded video to judge who should have
a look into this. So first, try booting with nosplash,vga=normal boot options
and record that boot on your camera. Hopefully that will contain all the
relevant error messages and we can then investigate further.

Hmm, I've looked at those videos. The first just confirms its some really
lowlevel problem - we oopsed quite early while trying to get a free page. I
didn't find any suspicious message in the second one... There's just something
about "stolen memory". Probably someone with lowlevel HW/BIOS knowledge should
look into this memory corruption. It's definitely not fs related... Andrew,
could you please reassign? I don't seem to have enough rights.

I don't know where to reassign it, really.  Where's the bug?

A can randomly punt it in the x86_64 direction, but I suspect the hardware is
broken.

Does _any_ version of the linux kernel run properly on that particular machine?
