Hello,
I guess my problem is similar, though I cannot quite verify that.
I'm having a problem exporting Reiser4 over NFS, and Vladimir thought it possible that the problem has been rooted in endianness. He sent me a patch that tries to expose the problem, and one of the cases got fired.
Maybe you could both talk - I mean Paavo and Vladimir - coordinate about the problem, since I'm not in a position to help you beyond having a workstation and embedded PowerPC targets, where I can test things.
With kind regards, Oliver Korpilla

As the original author of the endian safeness patches, this report concerns me. This code has been in the kernel for a few years now, and is considered quite stable. I've tried reproducing on my iBook, and could not. Though, 2.4.27 won't even boot on my dual g4 powermac.
Do you always get an Oops in the same path? - -Jeff
