Hello David Miller,
Forgive me for posting this to the LinuxKernel List also.
Many people are having system lockups with 2.0.30[1,2,3,4] kernels. It has been suggested on the Linux-Kernel List, that we all revert back to 2.0.29, because no one can find the problem.
If you are aware of this, I'd like to know if you know if your 2.0.29 ISS patches ALSO lock up, or are they known to be stable??
We suspect that maybe the ISS patches that were included in the 2.0.30 kernel distribution, may be the cause of the mysterious lockups.
If you can assure us that the ISS patched 2.0.29 kernel is rock solid, like all previous version of Linux... I'd like to ask you where we can download your 2.0.29-ISS patched kernel source, or the ISS patches themselves.
I run a large web site and can use all the speed enhancements that come with ISS, but I can't take the system lockups. If your experience is that the ISS patches ARE the problem, maybe you could join in to help resolve the matter.
There are MANY of us willing to do as much as we can to help, but we are not knowledgable enough in debugging the kernel to fix this on our own, and the people that are working on the current kernel are too busy with other more important issues. Although I think leaving Linux unstable will ultimately HURT the Linux reputation.
What say you David, can you help??
