[1.] One line summary of the problem: Applied patch-2.6.9.bz2 on top of linux 2.6.8 tree, reboot - then suddenly laptop frozes.
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
It is the same .config used to compile 2.6.9 rc1 and 2.6.9 rc2 (http://www.gemtek.lt/~zilvinas/oops/ for kern.log and .config).
Laptop booted as usual, logged in KDE and started up evolution -
mouse froze, keyboard seemed dead - although sysrq-s, sysrq-u & sysrq-b worked just fine. After reboot I found a lot of messages
repeated like :

I'm totally blind, because I don't see your network driver in that big list of modules.

Your network driver should probably be doing dev_kfree_skb_any() somewhere, but isn't.
