It was running latest git at the time of 2.6.19-rc2 + a day or two and it locked up after ~20min. So we are not so lucky that the problem has been fixed by some of the patches that have gone in recently :-( Since there was nothing in the system logs and the box was completely frozen (not even sysrq worked) I goess I'll have to try and restart the bisection. Just wanted to report the little data I had. I'll be back with more (hopefully soon). -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
