Testcase is an openSuSE 10.1 installation. 2.6.15 works ok modulo 2 bugs to get it booted at all, and the usual udev breakage. plain 2.6.16-rc5-git7 locks up after a few packages, no ping. Our SuSE kernel does not lockup, but ext2 shows access beyond end of device after > 200 packages, or the rpmdb gets corrupt, or both. With reiserfs it gets past 100 packages, then reiserfs complains about fs corruption. plain -rc2 shows the same reiserfs corruption. plain -rc1 dies after a few packages, it jumps to 0x0 in softirq. I'm trying to compile the git snapshots now, which is a real challenge..
