Well, since it was actually saying "kernel BUG at inode.c:376" I'm gonna
guess it's something to do with inode.c. This is on a reiserfs partition,
so I'm guessing fs/reiserfs/inode.c. Lets look at line 376:

376: }

Hm. It's part of the block read function.

Nah, my RAM's fine. This only happens when I read a lot from reiserfs.

Nope.

Nope, it's all supported.

I'm thinking I have some buggy version of reiser. I'd LOVE to have
compiled reiserfstools with a non-beta GCC, but alas, I haven't tried.

That'll help reiserfs?
