At exactly the wrong moment my spinal reflexes kicked in and I logged out from my serial console session on an important server. BANG! Kernel panic. This has been reported numerous times before, so I won't bother giving you the specifics right now - had to boot it immediately to come back up anyway, so no time. Anyway - I was told at some point that this would be fixed in 6.x - but backporting the fix to 5.x would be hard to impossible. Guess what: It's still not fixed. And it's a really really (did I say really?) bad thing, at least as far as I'm concerned. Any fixes in the pipeline here? I'd be happy to help testing any patches.. I'm mostly pissed with myself though - I knew about this and usually never log out. But when under pressure, habits kick in. :P With very frustrated regards, /Eirik
