J.J. Garcia,
thanks a lot for the detailed answer and taking your time helping!
Morning Kirill,
Finally i managed to solve the memory problem by replacing a 128MB PC133 module, same memory config (1x256+1x128 on that mobo) than previous, same environment then. Running memtest for almost 24 hours leads to no memory issues. Booted with 42.0.3 since few hours, sys up and running.

- do you use md devices in your system?
Not at the moment, no raid configuration on that host, only ide disks and usb2 external harddisks,

- try applying diff-bio-debug-on-orig-rhel4 patch first:
# patch -p1 < diff-bio-debug-on-orig-rhel4 it will print mode details in case bug happens again. please note that it should not panic due to the bug, so you will need to check dmesg whether bug was hit or not.
- As additional check you can backout debug patch and apply 2nd patch diff-bio.
This is the only change in block I/O which I see from .22 kernel which can influence somehow. So apply it as: # patch -p1 -R < diff-bio-debug-on-orig-rhel4 # patch -p1 < diff-bio
Check whether bug is reproducable now or not.
I've launched several I/O operations on usb disks to see if i can reproduce the bug, not "succeeded" by the moment but let me check it for several days. If i get again the panic, i'll patch the kernel and send you back the results, hope this help.
Thanks a lot for the hints,
Jose.
Thanks, Kirill
