Under 2.6.27.29, within just a few seconds of transferring any high volume of data, I don't get *any* messages, nothing, and the machine hung. Frequently, the machine will appear to continue operating (screen saver continues to operate, etc...) but there is no network, and within a few seconds to as much as a minute (perhaps) everything ceases - keyboard, everything. There is nothing in the logs at all. This happens 100% of the time. I have both 2.6.27.25 and .29 installed, defaulting to .25 I'm generally pretty available for testing patches or packages.
