Package: kernel-patch-openvz
Version: 028.18.1+etch6
Severity: critical

Hi,

the OpenVZ kernel patch causes random kernel panics on a production
server. Unfortunately I couldn't capture the whole output of the panic
ofter the serial console (because screen does not seem to capture
if the screen is not attached :(). The file that I will attach in a few
minutes is all I got.

I set this to severity serious because it totally breaks my system (it
panics and is unresponsive after that, till I reset it) and also is
responsible for potential data loss (no syncing happens, kernel needs to
be reset without flushing buffers).

There is another issue with IPv6 beeing enabled and the OpenVZ patches.
It then panics on reboot, causing the reboot to fail. But that just as
an unrelated sidenote (the current .config has IPv6 disabled).

The issue did not happen with a stock kernel.

Any ideas?

Best Regards,
Patrick
