I was confused before.  I was thinking that the oops happened on the
boot side of the reboot, but looking back, I see that it is happening on
the shutdown side.  Is the hang happening during shutdown or boot?

I don't really know why the modules would cause jfs to misbehave.  I'll
have to try booting from jfs on my laptop (which is also gentoo + kernel
2.6.14-rc1).  I don't run jfs on the root because I like to rebuild
jfs.ko and reload it often.

This is odd.  Can you rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_JFS_DEBUG set, and
look for any suspicious dmesg output that may show up while the system
is running or right before the oops?
