3. Pegasos2 Seg Faults/ Ram problems:

There's no difference as well which kernel I use... as well 2.4.x panics as 2.6.1 to 2.6.7 did and does, again it doesn't matter if those are precompiled by Sven or self-compiled by me.
We'll see if that upcoming update will turn my peg2 into a stable machine... ;)
Well, just to give a feedback on this issue as promised...
In the meanwhile I got a chance to test the new OF update, but the problem still existed. Thanks to Sven and Nicolas the probable reason was discovered. There seems to be a problem with some 750cxe opcodes (namely dcbz) which are used in Linux, but its errata not properly handled by the OF.
Because the OF update didn't changed anything for me (except the support of the GbE), I went back to the last public release.
Anyway, a new public release of the new OF update would be nice.
side note:
highest uptime of my peg2 so far:

Still far from being usuable, but at least better than a kernel panic twice a day...
