[Bug 57707] System crashes totally many times when acceding to vfat partitions

[hexion]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-26-k7

System total crash using this kernel, related to vfat partitions.
I suspect it's only with partitions of my SATA drive (Maxtor 250 GB SATA).

Examples of crashes:

- Using nautilus, opening a folder where that partition is mounted. The
system crashes totally.

- When rebooting or shutting down, at "umounting drives" step. This
occurs many times (40% more or less).


I'm almost sure it's a problem with that kernel. I've changed to 2.6.15-26-386 and freezes have stopped (need more time to confirm this).

I'm using ubuntu dapper, up to dated.
