and still the patch I included applied to 2.5.14-dj2...

sorry for the misunderstanding, after the crash I booted into 2.4.19-pre8 to recover my system and that did not work because the 2.5.14-dj2 kernel destroyed the first descriptors of my ext2-filesystem. It was not meant to report the kernel panic but to show the severity of the problem that was done by the 2.5.14-dj2 kernel...

So this patch applied to 2.5.14-dj2 and I did not try to apply it to a 2.4 tree... again sorry for the misunderstanding.

2.5.13-dj2 also had this problem, I can't remember if 2.5.13-dj1 had the same problem.

No thanks, it's fun to play with these kernels (even to recover a heavily damaged system :)
