ext3 involved in kernel panic in 2.6.13?

[Maurice Volaski <mvolaski@aecom.yu.edu>]

Dual Opteron system running ext3 atop drbd (network RAID) devices, 
which, in turn, are atop LVM logical volumes. The underlying device 
is hardware SCSI RAID via a LSILogic HBA. The kernel is vanilla 
2.6.13 on a Gentoo-based system.

A panic occurred, which contains references to ext3 code.

I'm not sure how others manage to get these typed out, but I'm 
manually typing it from what's on the monitor:
