Re: 2.6.39-rc5-git2 boot crashs

["werner" <w.landgraf@ru.ru>]

   Just now I compiled 2.6.39-rc6-git1 (including still 
the patchs by hand because not yet included), its also OK, 
good running, without all these problems.  :)

Yes, I continue with my everythingyesconfig, which all the 
time and also now
after this patchs gives good generic kernels for the 
distro, working good on my
server and on the laptops of the neighbours except that 
sometimes
(instead of ELAN) I'll make 486 binaries. And now put the 
package on the mirrors because everything is OK, and I 
dont need to switch on and off the server so that they can 
sync, and the users can use the now working packages of 
2.6.39-rcX ,
which have many new drivers and other good improvements.

Like since years, I continue to compile new versions since 
-rc1 and report problems.
But it was very important that Linus take care of these 
problems now, because
nobody else searched for the reasons. These bugs in logfs 
and in slub.c and percpu.h
probably were processor-type / arch independent, and would 
have given problems
for the most users, so that they could not have been 
ignored.
