I am now testing with a .24-rc7+fix kernel. So far so good. Running gentoo's 32 bit firefox with flash 9 is a good way to trigger the problem here as is running Delftship (freeship) under wine. The problem is usually worst with a fully preemptive kernel. I have been using both on a kernel with preempt and have an uptime of 22 hours - this is really good. I have rarely been able to get this much uptime using these apps. If it manages to run for a few more days without a lockup it would really be worth trying to figure out what in .24 fixes the problem... THANKS!
