I'm having major stability problems with 2.6.18-x kernels. When trying to mount cifs
shares with any 2.6.18 kernel on FC5 or FC6 the system becomes unstable, usually crashing
with a kernel panic a few seconds after the mount. I've seen this on several machines,
including a dual athlon box (i386), and an athlon64 (x86_64). A typical log for what goes
on is attached below.
I've also been having stability problems with 2.6.18 on my Debian Sid box, though not
related to cifs mounts, so I'm wondering if this kernel release might have just escaped
the barn a bit early.
In every case I've had to revert to 2.6.17 and had no problems since.
Is anyone else seeing this?
thanks,
Greg
