I'm having major stability problems with 2.6.18-x kernels. When

with a kernel panic a few seconds after the mount. I've seen this on several
machines,
including a dual athlon box (i386), and an athlon64 (x86_64). A typical log for what
goes
on is attached below.
I've also been having stability problems with 2.6.18 on my Debian Sid box, though not
related to cifs mounts, so I'm wondering if this kernel release might have just
escaped
the barn a bit early.
In every case I've had to revert to 2.6.17 and had no problems since.
Is anyone else seeing this?
thanks,
Greg
Yes, absolutely the same symptoms as mine. Look at these bug reports. I
suggest you add your comment there to let the support people know.
