While running a 32 bit Java program 2.6.12-rc3 rebooted spontaneously leaving 
a corrupt partition table and disk with errors. There was nothing in dmesg 
(no oops/panic) except some -MARK- entries during the reboot.

No such problems with 2.6.11.  Hardware is a laptop - Compaq presario R3240us 
- Athlon64. It runs solid when running 2.6.11.

I haven't tried to reproduce it since it will cause me data loss :(
I am not sure it is possible to go to this extent in order to reproduce
the reboot but still... Here is what I was doing when the error occured -
I installed Ubuntu AMD64 5.04 release. Installed 2.6.12-rc3.
Installed and configured a chroot env for 32bit programs. (dchroot) 
Installed 32bit JRE from Sun - latest one. Tried to install 
Borland Together J Eclipse edition under the chrooted environment 
- Just before the install finished, machine rebooted. Machine was 
running for couple hours before the reboot.
