My machine is running stable on 2.6.11, however, if I boot 2.6.12, it

desktops, starting up terminals and loading web pages.)
I looked over the bug-list, but didn't see anything relevant. (Late at
night, I may have missed it...) What I want to know is how to best
provide more info? I think I should try single processor versions,
386/486 versions, try a different display driver, or work in text mode
for a long time (more troublesome though), or just leave my machine on
doing nothing other than maybe moving the mouse, to try and find out
when it crashes/hangs and when it doesn't?
Try examining the output of dmsg or /var/log/kern.log to examine
what part of the kernel is crashing.
Unfortunately no such luck:

I was able to log into Gnome before it crashed, it definately lasted
more than a minute, so there is nothing in kern.log regarding the crash...
I always love blaming hardware, but if hardware is rock-solid stable
(uh, I think so) on an older kernel... (though I suppose it can always
be that the newer kernel hits the hardware problem while the old doesn't).
Thanks,
Hugo
