Fellow ia64-ers...

We have been running into some odd panics during installation of the
most recent Fedora ia64 builds (with kernel-2.6.17-1.2630.fc6).  The
problems range from random panics to anaconda failures to hangs.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id 4638

So far we have not been able to reproduce any of these failures outside
of the installer (i.e. if we update a previously installed system to
this kernel all is well).  I am curious if anybody else out there has a
previously installed system that they have updated to this kernel and if
so have you seen any instability?

any data on this would be useful.

thanks,

- Doug

Looks like memory corruption. You need to enable slab debugging and other 
memory debugging options and rerun the tests to get closer to the problem.
