Can anyone help me debug this problem further? Is there any chance Linus will freeze 2.6 and make the current development tree 2.7? It seems like ever since around 2.6.8 things have been getting progressively worse (page allocation failures/nvidia breakage/XFS-oops-when-copying-over-nfs-when-the-file-is-being-written-to)? $ uptime 17:34:32 up 2 days, 8:53, 29 users, load average: 0.29, 0.38, 0.36 jpiszcz@p500:/usr/src/linux$ grep -i sysrq .config CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y I tried various combinations of sysrq+M but it did not seem to do anything special? Also, all of the failures below, could they possibly be causing data corruption?
