You can add me as a second user seeing the problem. My original report is here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/459839

I've seen the bug with two independent installations to ext4. In my case, a fsck does seem to repair the problem, making a non-bootable system bootable again. The occurrence of disk errors is sporadic.

You asked about RAID early in the thread. I have a raid controller on my mobo, which is currently not being used. The SATA drive is plugged directly into the main connections, and is reported as /dev/sda

I wouldn't mention this at all, but for the fact that some live CD versions of linux (gnuparted LiveCD, for example) gave me fits when they recognized the RAID controller, tried to associate the drive with the RAID device, and therefore prevented me from reformatting the drive. Made me wonder if there might be some quirky interplay deep in the device stack leading to false positive RAID detections.

As reported in the original bug, I am running Kubuntu 9.10 rc 64-bit on intel quad core machine and an intel x25-m ssd. (I don't think this is one of the infamous intel SSD bugs because an alternative OS ran w/o problems)
