[gentoo-amd64] 2.6.23 panics/freezes/reboots?

[Richard Freeman]

Has anybody else been having trouble with the latest gentoo-sources 
since the vmslice fix?

I've been having reboots a few times this week - almost always at the 
same time of the evening on my mythtv backend while watching TV from a 
remote front-end.  Granted, that could be unrelated - mythtv gets used 
at all times during the day without issue otherwise.  Nothing really 
going on otherwise that I can think of unless some web spider is hitting 
my website or something like that.

I have my kernel configured to reboot on a panic - I might disable that 
over the weekend to see if I can get any debugging info out of it.

I have vmware and nvidia modules, so this isn't a standard kernel, 
although neither of those modules was really doing anything at the time 
of the crashes (no vmware sessions running, X11 just displaying a blank 
screen-saver at the time).  I am using the in-kernel ivtv so that is 
less-typical hardware use.

I'm curious if anybody else is having issues.  I didn't spot any signs 
of trouble in a google search except for a vague bug report for gentoo 
with lots of forking processes (I've got stuff forking on occasion like 
apache, but nothing major).
