Since the changes for 1Tb filesystems, the 2 8Mb machines under my care crash
upon startup (usually around starting the portmapper) whereas a 16Mb machine
which while slightly unstable, doesn't (it used to crash whilst serving NFS,
but now that I've compiled that into the kernel rather than as an LKM, it
works fine. BTW, the LKMs have been rebuilt from scratch a number of times,
and even with NFS in the kernel, the 8Mb machines still crash). Anyway, the
8Mb machines both give the traceback after crashing in vfs_bio_awrite+0x45.
Below is a (hopefully accurate) rendition of the screen after ending up in DDB.

Happy hunting!
