Ext3 users - Feb 2002 - Oops kernel (2.4.18) on Sparc32

Hello,

    I have recompiled a Linux 2.4.18 kernel on my Sparc and I receive 
some oops when quick disk access are performed. For example : I download 
some files on a local server with ncftp (-TR directory), and ncftp hangs 
up (with kernel oops !). I cannot umount the device and I must reboot 
the station.

    For information, my sparc is a SparcStation 5 (85 MHz) with 160 
Mbytes and 3 SCSI disks formatted in ext3 :
Disk /dev/sda (Sun disk label): 67 heads, 62 sectors, 1007 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4154 * 512 bytes

   Device Flag    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1             0      1007   2091539   83  Linux native
/dev/sda3             0      1007   2091539    5  Whole disk

Disk /dev/sdb (Sun disk label): 67 heads, 62 sectors, 1007 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4154 * 512 bytes

   Device Flag    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1             0        31     64387   83  Linux native
/dev/sdb2  u         31       157    261702   82  Linux swap
/dev/sdb3             0      1007   2091539    5  Whole disk
/dev/sdb4           157      1007   1765450   83  Linux native

Disk /dev/sdc (Sun disk label): 133 heads, 62 sectors, 1018 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8246 * 512 bytes

   Device Flag    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1             0      1018   4197214   83  Linux native
/dev/sdc3             0      1018   4197214    5  Whole disk

    I use the same kernel on an alpha XP900 which is a fileserver 
without any trouble.

Hello,

There is not enough infomation to give any help. Can you please paste
the kernel panic message decode by ksymsoops?
