Is there anyone working in the  area of linux/fs/buffer.c where the I/O buffer
for disk ( ide/scsi ) is not locked ?  My system is history when this happens,
albeit no panik happens!
gat
Any hints as to how to backtrace to error to the broken scsi/ide drivers ?

buffer.c:
 /* This is a temporary buffer used for page I/O. */
        page = mem_map + MAP_NR(bh->b_data);
        if (!PageLocked(page))
                goto not_locked;
