Just to bump. Problem is still here. 2.6.28-9 is stable, 2.6.28-11 is unusable on this hardware. As all hardware is currently working, I have no problem in living with -9, but am worried about the problem.

Today I just tried again with 2.6.28-11.41 just to have program segfaulting after a minute or two, and a filesystem repair process at startup. Now I am with ext4, cannot report anymore on jfs.

I have read all patches introduced in the -9 -> -11 jump, and I was unable to find something really interesting.
Jaunty will for sure ship with 2.6.28, and as we are 10 days now from release, the problem is better handled by some kernel people.

I decided to go unstable just to help, as I am a somewhat experienced user who knows how to recover from backups and knows how to live with system hiccups. If we are here to build a community system, someone has to test it, and discover bugs for not experienced users to avoid them. Ubuntu, was something about community, or am I missing something?

I am plenty of options to live bleeding edge, am here just to help the Ubuntu project. I won't stay with Jaunty, will jump on Karmik as soon as it starts its development phase: lot of bug reporters will be available for official release, and I am of much help ahead of them.
