After running 2.6.29-rc7 for more than a day now with lots of data moved
around I got the impression that it is more stable than 2.6.28.6.
I only got one warning so far and a few 
r8169: eth0: link up
messages.

I know this is a vague statement, but I think I would have seen more
warnings with 2.6.28.6 and all the stuff I've done.

Below is the latest / only Call trace I've got since my earlier mail.

Note the 'eth0: link up' messages. This is where most likely the
2.6.28.6 would have barfed on me (cutting of recordings).

This is the complete dmesg output since the first warning. I didn't
remove anything before or between the 'link up' messages.

[2.6.29-rc7 - same configs etc as described in my earlier mail]
