Thanks for the hint. backports.org doesn't contain a 2.6.26 and AFAIK lenny will ship with 2.6.26 as well, thus I'd like to try that one before doing a backport of 2.6.27 from sid myself. Thus I hope the issue that is triggered on those servers is fixed with 2.6.26 or some prior kernel since 2.6.21 already. If not, we will consider backporting 2.6.27. At least on my notebook I didn't have any issues so far with any kernel since 2.6.17.7. But even with TuxOnIce it doesn't have uptimes of 100 days or more, since I compile a new kernel for it once in a while. -- Martin Steigerwald - team(ix) GmbH - http://www.teamix.de gpg: 19E3 8D42 896F D004 08AC A0CA 1E10 C593 0399 AE90
