They never occur on my laptop, using kernel 2.4.17.
They began to occur at about 2.4.10. I kept attributing them to VM
issues and fiddled with all sorts of things in the BIOS, without
result.
However, I've now found that they don't occur if I don't use ext3. This
therefore seems to be the answer in my case. Is this a known issue, and
is there any way of getting ext3 to work?
For the record: Processor is Intel Coppermine 600Mhz; 192M memory.
Not using hdparm.
