I think that the crash (soft lockup) that I > reported earlier is related as well.

(but it is replying to ping) it can happen up to 2-3 times per day. (usually only once per day or once per 2 days) there is completly no info about anything in any log files. i already installed latest kernel 2.6.14.2 and lates 2.6.14-1 reiser4 patch and its the same. My users are getting angry becouse of the downtimes... is this bug noticed by dev team ? This seems really serious, as it is causing sporadic crashesh and often short lock-ups. Any quick-fix please? It is happening for quite some time now so this is not new bug. thats why i keep asking... is it worked on or not? thanks in advance
