Hello,
Kernel 2.6.19.x seems much more stable in my setup than the previous
versions 2.6.18/17.x which used to lock-up 5 times a day.
I did get the following crash last night (forgot exactly what I was
doing - killed rsync server), I just saved the error and rebooted.
I found a similar error here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/8/19/70
but this was posted more than a year ago ?
Albert.
