This bug is new as of 2.6.31.x kernels. After a short period of heavy surfing (e.g. lots of tabs open in Firefox), the kernel will suddenly stop responding. Nothing is written to the serial console, and the machine stops responding to pings. My only clue so far has been a warning which I found once in my dmesg log (attached). I have already tried manually applying this patch from the upcoming -stable queue: net-fix-sk_forward_alloc-corruption.patch to no effect. I am currently switching back to Fedora's 2.6.31.6-145.fc12.i686 kernel to see if it is more stable. (I cannot trust 2.6.31.6 any more.) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --
