I've had similar problems with MSDOS and VFAT file systems in previous 2,0
kernels, but a) things were just weirdly slow, the system eventually
recovered, and b) I didn't know where to send kernel bug reports. Now I'm
getting a hard failure, with kernel 2.0.19 or 2.0.20, with or without
VFAT/MSDOS as modules:

bash# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt
bash# ls /mnt
<bunch of filenames>
bash# cp /vmlinuz /mnt/loadlin/
scsi0: Queue full.
