But wouldn't it be nice to have a Real(tm) beta-test cycle for once? It appears that we still have problems with stability in 2.1, given the amount of reboots we're seeing, and I'd like to see those resolved. I just started seeing reboots on my 2.1 box which ran the exact same workload under 2.0R with uptimes of 60 and 90 days, and I can't get over a week with it in -stable. I just enabled dumps, so hopefully I can provide more information. > This is supposed to be a fairly simple `re-roll the release' cycle, > and if it isn't then we need to consider just what we did to make that > not happen (and kill someone for it :-). While I think 2.1 is a *great* release, I think there is a bogon lurking in the kernel somewhere biting us, and I'd like to see it tracked down and violently killed. (Whoops, the redneck in me is showing there...) Natehome | help
