I tested both cvs head and cvs RHEL4, i do not know anythink about FC4.
Why so many branches??? Which of them is definitively more stable?

Howewer *IT SEEMS* recompiling 2.6.11 without PREEMPTIBLE KERNEL avoids the 
random oops!
Actually my gfs is happy :) this could be a good starting point, due to 
different messages in the mailing list referencing the same problem.

Howewer some opss continues to present when i reboot the servers without 
umount the filesystem cleanly, But i suppose that this could be while iscsi 
is died before the system umounts local filesystem during shutdown procedure.
