There isn't

The system was installed as 32 bit system, fresh install of debian etch,
some week ago. (I remember, that beta3 of installer was only one day old).
Runned good, but I have decided to migrate to 64 bit. All drives except xfs
one are reformatted, only xfs has been kept untouched. Even if the xfs was
probably clean unmounted, installer had some problem with mounting xfs into
/target. So I deciced not to mount xfs automatically. After first boot,
while mounting xfs manually the kernel oopsed and was not able to shutdown
correctly, so the next boot was unclean and the ext3 (/) has to be
recovered. I have made the bugreport after second unsecssful boot.

The instalation was made by nightly snapshoot of installer from 24-Sep-2006
02:33. I didn't use beta3, becouse beta 3 is missing xfs libs.

Don't know exactly, as written above.

The problem was solved by using my own kernel, 2.6.18.

gmame is currently down:

"""
Couldn't contact deer:8010
The web interface is down for maintenance.
"""

This machine has 2GB RAM and 1,1TB xfs filesystem, it will be bacula sd
machine. Main problem I see here is, that testing is using in freeze phase
kernel, which oopsed instead of just returning some error message from xfs
layer. It can occur, that my xfs filesystem was broken in some way, but xfs
should say, bye bye to my data and no oops whole kernel.
