Hi,

I have tried following the suggestions on debugging a kernel crash, but
I was unable to produce a usable core file.  All the techniques
suggested failed with a message like this.

dump to dev 0,1 not possible
rebooting

The backtrace during the crash however looked something like this (I
copied as much as I could manually from the screen).  It seems to be
happening during renames and directory creation.

Let me know if you need any more information.
