Well recently I noticed all kernels were doing it so did some regression testing to see when it started. 2.6.7 runs fine, but 2.6.8-rc1 onwards get hard rebooted after 12 hours. I've been using the 8x boxen at osdl with TEST: hackbench on stp8-001 running PLM ID 3049 [ linux-2.6.7 ] LILO: append = 'profile=2' Script Params: 25 200 I'll investigate further to see if I can track down the patch that started this but it may take some time. Suffice to say that the 2.6.8-rc* versions may not be safe in certain server settings until that time.
