Don't use EXT4 on older systems

My initial tests with ext4 were on an old Athlon 2600+ system, 1.5GB of RAM and 80GB PATA/IDE hard drive. Early on the system would freeze up requiring me to power cycle, but that got fixed with the new jaunty kernel image just days before official release. Since then that same test machine has been running fine. My newer systems and servers are running ext4 fine as well.

Nooooooo. Fluck me.

I have a Asus Socket 754 motherboard, AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Over-clocked to 2.41 Ghz[2.2 Ghz standard], 1GB DDR 400 ram, 120 GB Western Digital SCSI HD, EXT4 and absolutely 0 problems.

Just as a note, I put 9.04 on a 1Ghz machine with 512Mb, used ext4 and I'm having zero problems too.

Perhaps the OPer might want to double-check their system? :)
