After running 2.6.29-rc7 for more than a day now with lots of data moved around I got the impression that it is more stable than 2.6.28.6. I only got one warning so far and a few r8169: eth0: link up messages.
I know this is a vague statement, but I think I would have seen more warnings with 2.6.28.6 and all the stuff I've done.
Below is the latest / only Call trace I've got since my earlier mail.
Note the 'eth0: link up' messages. This is where most likely the 2.6.28.6 would have barfed on me (cutting of recordings).
This is the complete dmesg output since the first warning. I didn't remove anything before or between the 'link up' messages.
[2.6.29-rc7 - same configs etc as described in my earlier mail]
