You might do: # dmesg -c then attach the output of: # echo w > /proc/sysrq-trigger" # dmesg
compiled kernel with magic sysrq and waiting for reoccurrence... timeline: switched to ext4 happened once happened twice (wrote this entry) waiting...
hmm...it doesnt occured again...and i switched to 2.6.28.7...so i close this bug...

This is probably fixed by: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=2acf2c261b823d9d9ed954f348b97620297a36b5 which may make it to .28.y eventually...
seems to be fixed...mentioned patch is in 2.6.28.9...
