Segmentation Fault when trying to mount ext(2,3,4) fs, from usb (openwrt)

So I have a TL-MR3220v2 router, which has Openwrt installed, this device only has a 4mb flash so I'm trying to get extroot setup on a USB, to increase disk space. My first attempt I tried using a FAT32 FS, which I was able to get mounted and transfer files, but I quickly realized that this FS would not work as a linux root because of permissions, symlinks, and such. So I tried again this time with a ext4 formatted usb. So I then try to mount this partition onto my device, but every time it results in a 'segmentation fault' with the following in my dmesg log: [ 1146.920000] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-platform [ 1147.070000] usb-storage 1-1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected [ 1147.090000] scsi host1: usb-storage 1-1:1.0 [ 1148.390000] scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access Lexar USB Flash Drive 1100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4 [ 1148.400000] sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] 31258624 512-byte logical blocks: (16.0 GB/14.9 GiB) [ 1148.410000] sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off [ 1148.420000] sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 43 00 00 00 [ 1148.420000] sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] No Caching mode page found [ 1148.430000] sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 1148.440000] sda: sda1 [ 1148.450000] sd 1:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI removable disk [ 1168.550000] CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c0676c40, epc == c0676c40, ra == c0694dd0 [ 1168.560000] Oops[#4]: [ 1168.560000] CPU: 0 PID: 1596 Comm: mount Tainted: G D 3.18.18 #1 [ 1168.560000] task: 8182a220 ti: 8155a000 task.ti: 8155a000 [ 1168.560000] $ 0 : 00000000 00000000 c0698e60 00000000 [ 1168.560000] $ 4 : c06c6b30 00008000 81578700 00000000 [ 1168.560000] $ 8 : 00003100 8157868a 00000010 00000013 [ 1168.560000] $12 : 7fb3d928 00000000 00000000 770b4000 [ 1168.560000] $16 : 80f6c780 81578700 c06c6b30 c06c6b30 [ 1168.560000] $20 : 00000000 00000000 81578c00 770b4000 [ 1168.560000] $24 : 00000010 8016c38c [ 1168.560000] $28 : 8155a000 8155be38 00000000 c0694dd0 [ 1168.560000] Hi : 00000019 [ 1168.560000] Lo : 00000000 [ 1168.560000] epc : c0676c40 0xc0676c40 [ 1168.560000] Tainted: G D [ 1168.560000] ra : c0694dd0 ext4_orphan_del+0x108c/0x1f30 [ext4] [ 1168.560000] Status: 1000fc03 KERNEL EXL IE [ 1168.560000] Cause : 10800008 [ 1168.560000] BadVA : c0676c40 [ 1168.560000] PrId : 00019374 (MIPS 24Kc) [ 1168.560000] Modules linked in: ext4 jbd2 mbcache crc16 crypto_hash usb_storage sd_mod scsi_mod ath9k ath9k_common pppoe ppp_async iptable_nat ath9k_hw ath pppox ppp_generic nf_nat_ipv4 nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_conntrack_ipv4 mac80211 ipt_REJECT ipt_MASQUERADE cfg80211 xt_time xt_tcpudp xt_state xt_nat xt_multiport xt_mark xt_mac xt_limit xt_id xt_conntrack xt_comment xt_TCPMSS xt_REDIRECT xt_LOG xt_CT slhc nf_reject_ipv4 nf_nat_masquerade_ipv4 nf_nat_ftp nf_nat nf_log_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv4 nf_conntrack_rtcache nf_conntrack_ftp nf_conntrack iptable_raw iptable_mangle iptable_filter ip_tables crc_ccitt compat ledtrig_usbdev ip6t_REJECT nf_reject_ipv6 nf_log_ipv6 nf_log_common ip6table_raw ip6table_mangle ip6table_filter ip6_tables x_tables ipv6 arc4 crypto_blkcipher ohci_platform ohci_hcd ehci_platform ehci_hcd gpio_button_hotplug usbcore nls_base usb_common [ 1168.560000] Process mount (pid: 1596, threadinfo=8155a000, task=8182a220, tls=770c1644) [ 1168.560000] Stack : 80400000 80f6c780 81578700 804073f0 c0698e60 80116f30 81733300 800ffc68 [ 1168.560000] 00000000 81578c00 c06c6b30 81578700 00008000 c06c6b30 80f6c780 81578700 [ 1168.560000] 00008000 80116fdc 00008000 8010a4a0 00000001 7fb3df74 c06c6b30 00000020 [ 1168.560000] 80391f70 00008000 81578700 80119de8 8182ebc0 7fb3df74 0000000a 800ddc68 [ 1168.560000] 81b1f010 8088e4c8 7fb3dc34 770b4000 00000000 0000000a 00000000 81578c00 [ 1168.560000] ...

So if anyone has any idea i would greatly appreciate it! Thanks! EDIT: So I found this page http://blog.csdn.net/u011839461/article/details/12001437 which say if BadVA == epc then it is most likely memory corruption, but Im not sure what i can do about it.
