Same exact experience to the point of almost being 100% reproduceable. If I rm * in a directory with a bunch of files (more than 3 or 4), 2.2.* kernels seem to bomb. Haven't tried with 2.4.* kernels. Just copying the kernel over works flawlessly every time, but I actually use the hfstools program in a script, I don't even bother to mount it anymore. a
