I skipped -pre5; -pre6 (with Anton's one-line patch applied to >allow compiling with egcs-2.91.66) gives the same lockup as -pre7.
When does the lockup occur? When mounting? Later? What is the command that triggers it?
Could you edit fs/ntfs/Makefile and remove the hash in front of the -DDEBUG in the EXTRA_CFLAGS line? Then recompile, insert the module and as root issue:
echo -1 > /proc/sys/fs/ntfs-debug
This will activate extensive logging in NTFS. If you now can reproduce the hang and send me the syslog output (which hopefully will be captured) I should be able to figgure out where and why it crashes.
Thanks in advance,
Anton
