766 -> 770 sounds like a "small" (ish) number of patches to check, if we're lucky. Did you wade through 'em all yet? Any smoking guns?
The RPM changelog doesn't contain anything relevant between 766 and 770:
---CUT--- * Thu Feb 24 2005 Dave Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- Use old scheme first when probing USB. (#145273)
* Wed Feb 23 2005 Dave Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- Try as you may, there's no escape from crap SCSI hardware. (#149402)
* Mon Feb 21 2005 Dave Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- Disable some experimental USB EHCI features.
* Tue Feb 15 2005 Dave Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- Fix bio leak in md layer. ---CUT---
Perhaps the changelog is incomplete. I don't have the two SRPMs at hand to make a comparison.
By the way, it seems upgrading to 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 just made the bug much harder to trigger: I've definitely seen it once again when I had left a shell sitting in an NFS directory overnight. I couldn't reproduce it a second time.
PS: oh bugger, just remembered that I also reproduced my bug with a 2.6.8 kernel on the server; admittedly though it was an FC2 kernel so who knows what extra patches it had.
You can easily find out by downloading the SRPM. Now that Fedora provides a public CVS, perhaps it could be used to make such investigations directly with the cvsweb interface without downloading and unpacking a 40MB file.
