Sorry, I didn't.

IIRC I spent a couple of weeks on it and found it too unpredictable to bisect.
I have been running 2.6.27.4 on that machine for a few months (checks... Nov 08)
and it's been good since then.

Linus suspected HW and we got into a habit of warming the machine up before
booting. That habit has long since gone and the last xfs hissy-fit was on 13 Sep 08.

David
