Hi Luis,

Please pipe the oops messages through ksymoops (check
linux/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt on how to do so), as they're really
not useful as is. Also, you may want to check 2.4.20-rc1, quite a few ext3
fixes went in during the .20-pre series. I seem to remember some bugs in
transaction.c:226 during 2.4.18/.19-pre...

Also, it would help a great deal if you could reproduce the crash without
any proprietary modules ever being loaded -- your kernel was marked as
"tainted", although all modules from the list you provide below should be
ok (GPL or Dual BSD/GPL). Did you have any nVidia binary only drivers
loaded at the the time of the crash?

Cheers,

Nuno
