This kernel panic occurred when I attempted to dump my ext2 filesystem /home onto /mnt/ide/backup. My exact dump command was: dump -0 -u -M -f /mnt/ide/backup/home -B 2096128 /home I believe dump managed to start reading directories before the oops occurred...Haven't been able to duplicate the oops on 2.4.0-test9.
