No USB messages before the crash.

Well, at least the NFS part is not related to this. However, I do need 
to make a correction. I must have remounted wrong when I tried NFS3 last 
time, but NFS3 does work. NFS4 (using the exact same /etc/exports i.e. 
no security) crashes with the message I gave before.

I can try creating a JFS partition and seeing if I can get an error message.

Thanks,
