Linux-2.4.19-rc3 has code to eliminate the AMD K6 cache speculation bug.
Gettting the current CVS of XFS might be worth trying 'cause it's based on the
2.4.19-rc3 codebase. If I remember correctly it has KDB also.
BTW: When you have a filesystem that appears to work (ie Reiser or EXT3) can
you try to compile the Linux Kernel using 'make -j'. I suspect that you have
some memory error or cache problems. GCC should complain with SEG11 if there's
a memory problem. I had a machine that worked with BSD, Windows etc.etc. but
as soon as GCC did a make it would seg fault. Changing my main ram solved my
problems. BTW^2: memtest86 ran for DAYS on this ram w/o errors. A comercial
ram tester also said it was fine.

I do know about early K6 processors (i had one) that had problems with more
then 32MB but that were only a few. The K6-2 should not have that problem.
If it does there should be a kernel message during bootup.

Can you tell me what other patches there were in.

It might just be your lucky day, if you only knew.
