It pretty much is. If I could blame your crash on any of the recent
patches I would
but its something new and unfun. Most of the fixes in the Linus tree
are directly
from fixes to Fedora/Ubuntu bug reports.
even after reviewing the dmesg I can't see why its failing on that system,
If you could build 2.6.32 on that machine with the staging flag
enabled and see if
it works it would at least tell us if it is something in recent times
or just something
thats always been there.
Unless some other option in make allyesconfig is conflicting and we've never hit
it before. Fedora is close to allyesconfig but not pathalogical like
allyesconfig is.
Dave.
