4 Maybe; there are also a lot of core kernel changes between those
5 versions, any of which could interact with the hardened patchset in a

8 Given that identical systems with identical configurations work, I

10 PaX. The memory management changes it provides in combination with
11 the memory management changes introduced in 2.6.28 could well
12 exacerbate existing issues in a RAM module that weren't being
13 triggered previously.
