You can't run a unpatched 2.0 kernel with 3000fds per process.
The sys_select() routine will overflow the kernel stack: it puts
6*(NR_OPEN/8) bytes on the kernel stack (2250bytes for NR_OPEN=3000)
The kernel stack is currently limited to 4KB, so when an interrupt routine
occurs that needs needs much kernel stack (for example the 2940 driver)
your machine will crash.
