Yeah, as I said in my other mail, there seem to have been some recent changes to the ext4 driver with regards to crc32 which I wasn't aware of.

I have not observed this issue myself yet, so I'm curios to learn what the root cause is. I have recently booted Debian's 6.12.x kernel on an UltraSPARC IIIi without problems, so this issue may affect fresh installations only. Adrian -- .''`.
