I tried the "small kernel" test11 with Ext3 support instead of XFS by booting on my slack partition.

I confirm to have the same problem without XFS, oops as usual when I try to compile a kernel:

---
slab: double free detected in cache 'buffer_head' objp c605733c, objnr 9, slabp c6057000, s_mem c6057120, bufctl 12
---

[slab.c patch from Linus]

I tried the patch on the same small config (XFS and CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC enabled) and I got oops at the beginning of boot sequence. I spent some times to write this down but I'm not so sure it's a good news. Just say me it's not a hw problem...
