I think I can confirm this.I hacked my 2.6.8 initrd so that it wouldn't try to mount root as ext2 or ext3 and the oops disappeared.
Is there a special reason that ext2 is not a module? It's not like you will be able to boot this thing without an initrd because everything ide, scsi is a module. And at least now there is somebody who 1) doesn't need it, and 2) is actually bugged by it :)
I will rebuild the kernel with ext2 as a module and see if a few strategically placed prinktk's can pinpoint this bug.
