Peter,
I'm sorry for not responding sooner.  I took a day & a half off and have 
been trying to catch up with my inbox.

This is a common problem with modules.  The best solution is to run 
klogd with the -x flag (which will not try to resolve the addresses) and 
run ksymoops as soon as possible after the oops.  The messages from JFS 
are not part of the oops, which is why they don't make it into the 
ksymoops output, but that's okay as long as we see them.

I am going to take a look at all of your recent emails and see if I can 
figure out why you're having such a hard time with this release.

Thank you for providing so much information.  I apologize for taking so 
long to respond.
