No way, today I got 3 Oopses against my MTA, and the machine was running without mail services 11 hours. I'm running 2.0.34-pre2 without CONFIG_PCI_OPTIMIZE nor CONFIG_SKB_LARGE, but this doesn't seems to solve anything. Since two weeks ago I can't sleep quiet thinking in horrendous Oopses and crashes in my mail server. My girlfriend says that I talk to nobody in the middle of the night.
This kernel is killing me. I remember the funny days with 2.0.29...
