I'm assuming from the lists you've posted to that this is under KVM?
What disk drivers are you using (virtio or emulated)?

Can you get a full stack backtrace of kjournald?

Kevin Bowling submitted a RH bug against Xen with apparently the same
symptoms (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526627).  I'm
wondering if there's a core kernel bug here, which is perhaps more
easily triggered by the changed timing in a virtual machine.

Thanks,

I've had a stable system thus far by appending clocksource=jiffies to 
the kernel boot line.  The default clocksource is otherwise xen.


The dmesg boot warnings in my bugzilla report still occur.

 Yes, it's under KVM, disk driver is virtio. Since the io has issue, the
 stack can't be saved on the disk. I have the image file attached here.
   

Ah, thank you.  The backtrace does indeed look very similar.

(BTW, you could get a serial console with qemu-kvm -nographic -append
console=ttyS0 ...)

I've hit this in the past with ext3, mounting with data=writeback made it
disappear.

Thanks. I will make a try. Someone should fix this.
