I've been running into hangs for a long time on my laptop.
Seems to be related to something in the utrace patchset (not totally proven
though). nohz=off makes the problem go away (25 days uptime with
2.6.25-0.218.rc8.git7.fc9 :-) )
Would be nice to see SOMEONE being able to reproduce the same issue,
it's only this one laptop I've seen it on, nearly identical X31
didn't show any issues.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=283161 for the details.
Might be worth trying out a 2.6.25.2 build, there are a number of scheduler
fixes that went in post-2.6.25. There's a 2.6.25.2 (plus what's in the queue
for 2.6.25.3) build that was done in dist-f10 last night. Right now, dist-f10
is still mostly the same thing as dist-f9, so there shouldn't be any issues
running this kernel on an F9 system -- I'm running it on my own otherwise f9
laptop w/o a problem (but then again, I didn't have any problems with prior
kernels either).
