Hello,

I am just started to test the stable-queue patch series on 2.6.32.10.
Now running, we will see...
The 2.6.33.2 made 4 crashes in the last 3 days. :-(
This was more worse than the original 2.6.32.10.

(I am very interested, anyway, this is the last shot of this server.
The owner giving me an ultimate.
If the server crashes again in the next week, i need to replace the entire
HW, the OS, and the services as well...)

Thanks a lot for help.

Best Regards,
Janos Haar

I would recommend you to use a distribution-released kernel,
rather than a stable kernel from kernel.org, because usually
the distribution maintains a longer supported kernel than
kernel.org.

Just a little suggestion. Hope it helps for you to choose Linux. ;)

Thanks.
