I also tried an older Debian 5.0.x kernel from Mar 2009, which is a > less-patched 2.6.26, and got the same results. 2.6.32 hasn't deadlocked > after 10 minutes (2.6.26 usually does within a minute of boot-up), so > I'll leave it re-syncing overnight... > 2.6.32 resynced to completion, but if possible I'd really like to get 2.6.26 running on this box, as it uses openvz, and the 2.6.32 openvz patches are still pretty green, I think. Is their anything in the sysrq-t output in that link of any use? Are there any patches I should try, or would it be better to start bisecting between 2.6.26 and 2.6.32 (assuming I can reproduce the problem without the load pattern which openvz is producing - which I probably can).
