Hi,
When trying today's kernel (f74d505b58d36ceeef10e459094f0eb760681165) on
ARAnyM (emulated m68k Atari), I get

when mounting the root file system, which is ext2 (has_journal is not set).
Apparently it crashes in ext3_sync_fs because EXT3_SB(sb)->s_journal is NULL.
At first I thought it was an issue with the byteswapped IDE bus on Atari (a
new and different solution to handle this just went into mainline), but if I
disable CONFIG_EXT3 support, it boots up fine.
Is this a known problem?
