I've now reproduced this with a serial console attached. This part of
the output would have been more useful:

Assertion failure in ext3_put_super() at fs/ext3/super.c:425: "list_empty(&sbi->s_orphan)"
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at fs/ext3/super.c:425!

You don't really need to look up the line number for a BUG(), because it
tells you. But for reference: that EIP was in a module, so you have to
look at that module for debugging information instead of vmlinux, and
use the address relative to the (unrelocated) function rather than the
absolute address.
