Howdy-

All of my units are using dual or quad-core Intels. The quads don't seem to
throw the softlock error- top just shows that one of the cores is slammed,
and everything slows to a crawl. I can't seem to be able to kill the bonding
kmod- so I always end up having to reboot the units. I'm going to update my
dev environment to 2.6.24-22, and will advise on any oddness that I run
into.
