2.6.21 is really rather ancient for the kernel community and I doubt anyone 
here will really want to look into issues with it, given that there's a 
realistic chance it has already been fixed since then. The current stable 
version is 2.6.31 after all.

Can you reproduce the oops with a current kernel? Have you checked if there 
have been any changes in the code you identified since 2.6.21?

Cheers,
