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 rebooted w/o running make install_modules w/o an oops, but when I > fixed that and rebooted again, I got the oops.) > > My autoloaded modules are: > > e100 uhci-hcd snd_maestro3 snd_mixer_oss snd_pcm_oss i8k > > plus thier dependancies.

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. > Also, as long as I reboot right away and fsck, it seems that I can > avoid any data loss.

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? > > -JimC -- David Kleikamp IBM Linux Technology Center ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
