XFS: Oops in 2.4.26 and 2.4.27-rc4

[Cahya Wirawan <cwirawan@email.archlab.tuwien.ac.at>]

Hi,
Last week I have reported Oops with latest kernel 2.6.7 , it turns out
that XFS can't work with 4K stacks, so I decided not to use kernel 2.6
at the moment. Now I am trying to use kernel 2.4.26, and actually I
expected that it is more stable than the kernel 2.6 , but after I 
made the same stress test like I did with 2.6 (ltp.sf.net), this kernel
2.4.26 and 2.4.27-rc4 get an Oops again. The server will not always
crash, but it gets always an Oops at the same test (diotest4), and it is
reproducible in 3 pc (intel notebook, amd pc, and double xeon processor
server). Following is Oops from amd pc:

# Using vanilla kernel. AMD cpu, smp disabled.

And I save another Oops messages in this url:
SMP server (with gentoo patch): http://s2.enemy.org/~cahya/Oops.0.txt
AMD pc (with gentoo patch):     http://s2.enemy.org/~cahya/Oops.1.txt
AMD pc (vanilla kernel):        http://s2.enemy.org/~cahya/Oops.2.txt
AMD pc (kernel 2.4.27-rc4):     http://s2.enemy.org/~cahya/Oops.3.txt
But they all have about the same call trace.

Thanks,
Cahya.
