kernel panic with 2.4

[Manish D]

Hi,

( If this is not the right alias, pardon me and please direct to an
appropriate one.
Also the query is for 2.4.25 kernel. )

I am seeing a kernel panic on trying to copy a recently mounted flash partition.
The actual steps are,

1) mount a partition,
2) read files into a ramdisk.
3) umount partition
4) reflash the partition
5) mount the partition again
6) update the files read earlier onto flash.

I hit error at step 6.

The oops details are below.

My query is, is this known issue with 2.4 kernel ? (i understand only
2.6 discussions are allowed here, still daring to ask this)
I tried searching but could not find any.
