Your backtrace doesn't include anything in the SCSI subsystem (this doesn't _prove_ anything, but does suggest you should look elsewhere first). You also didn't mention what SCSI controller you were using. If you can reproduce the oops without using reiserfs at all, that would suggest the problem doesn't lie in reiserfs, but that's where I'd blame first ;-) -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
