Re: 2.6.39-rc5-git2 boot crashs

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.

I think you can skip all those other test suggestions in this thread - as you confirmed in this email the root cause of your crashes has been found.

So the best testing you could do would be for you to resume testing whatever original config you were using on your system, and make sure there's really no crashes left - and report any other regressions you might see.

Thanks,

Ingo
