Well, not quite the only one... :)
I have had no problems [dual XEON 2.0]. However, I also installed
everything....
Reading the bug report, *most* people seem to think that it is related
to NFS/SMB mounts. So, this morning, I NFS mounted a drive. I'll let
you know in a couple of days... :)
The other thing that seems to be related is many people do *not* install
everything, rather they install a server or workstation. However, Ben
and I have both installed the kitchen sink.
In terms of running of hundreds of days, unlikely with new kernels on
about a bi-monthly basis... :)
BTW:
[keven at cirrus ~]$ uname -r
