Hi, I have a problem with errors=panic on ext3. When a panic occurs, the error event is not recorded anywhere. So after the reboot, e2fsck doesn't kick in, the file system gets mounted again and the box panics again... Patch below moves the ERRORS_PANIC test down a bit so the journal is aborted before panic() is called.
