Re: [hlds_linux] midround hitches - problem solved / solution found!
for most kernel races you need to first come into the system. i think most gameserverhosts are *only* hosting gameservers & are "nacked" regarding installed/running applications. there is not apache, php, mysql, whatever that could give you access to the server. all in all, the "potential downside" is lower than the benefit, since i have no benefit, when my gameservers are empty, right? anyway, i think this is quite off topic.

Can you (and everyone else that downgrades and experiences a fix for the problem) post the .config for both kernels? Perhaps we can find just what is causing this. Also, it would be nice if Valve would tell us the kernel version on their build/test hosts. Perhaps along with glibc- and gcc versions?

for us it would be an sufficient information to know which kernel(s) valve is using for their test machines, so that everyone could exclude this "variable" in case of problems. i think i'm not high-spirited to say, that most machines with gameservers are *only* hosting gameservers. so its quite easy to "fix" those "OS-parameters" related issues.
