Subject: just a report: 2.6.14-rc2-git[35] (UP) not stable on usenet server where 2.6.12 stays up for weeks

Just feedback for the true kernel gods:

I've announced it probably all to often.
But 2.6.1[34]* kernels aren't stable for me.
Where 2.6.12-mm1 stays up for >> 3 weeks the latest kernels barfs:


reboot system boot 2.6.14-rc2-git5 Mon Sep 26 16:58 (05:44)
[crash]

reboot system boot 2.6.14-rc2-git3 Sat Sep 24 05:14 (2+11:42)
[crash]

machine has serial port but no buffering so no error report :-(

Really need to narrow this down a lot more. Either a oops from a serial
port, or pinpointing where it started happening.

Should i open a ticker in bugzilla ?
I did so for prior kernels but no response.
Just for the record than ? ;-)
