Some more data points:
o 2.5.70 fails as well.
o ext2 on 2.5.70, too.
o Above errors are definitely critical. 8-(
o It seems as if the kernel assumes that a file is a directory. (At
least after running 2.5.70/ext2 for a while, e2fsck had some
problems regenerating a proper file system structure and marked a
few files as directories.)
o Vanilla 2.4.20 is rock solid on the same hardware (no more file
system corruption after downgrade).
