But sometime a new kernel can break binary compatibility with previous one (e.g. after data structures change) and e.g. iptables or iproute tools stop working or work in an unpredictable way. There were a few such changes before 2.6.20 - I don't track current changes too much. And I'm sure your system uses much more than iptables or TC, even without your knowledge. > But if i need to reboot PC by hand (if it freeze) i need drive to > servers-room =) Of course, if previous kernel always boots by default, or even there is a possibility to use for testing different partition with a copy of main system this risk should be much smaller. > > > BTW, I think after this BUG could be something more about other CPUs. > > Could you check this? > > I send to you all info that catch NETCONSOLE. i don't cut any info... So, it seems something was broken. But, I meant, there can be sometimes interesting things a few lines before or after the infos too. > > Now 1 mashine work at *"2.6.23-rc4-git2 > <http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.23-rc4-git2.bz2>" > > Backup mashine use 2.6.18* > BTW, -git versions are usually more risky than -rc. And, maybe, let this 2.6.18 better stay away from this testing...
