Subject: 2.6.26.1 hangs on dl385

Hi,

I tried to upgrade several of our HP DL385 running a 64 bit kernel to
2.6.26.1 from 2.6.25.11.

Every single one of them died within at most a few days, sometimes even
within minutes.  The systems continue to do TCP/IP/pings/etc, but
everything that interacts with the filesystem/disks just hangs.  It
seems to happen faster with more disk/filesystem load.  Nothing is
printed to the console.

The kernel config of the working 2.6.25.11 and of several 2.6.26.1
kernels, none of wich worked realiably, can be found
at http://asteria.noreply.org/~weasel/dl385/

Any idea what likely suspects could be, i.e. what I should try to
disable in the kernel config?  Any patches I should try?

Cheers,
Peter
