and another oops from tonight. Same configuration, same kernel. This seems
to be TCP network related. I can push hundreds of megabytes over NFS / UDP
and have no problem. But when the nightly backup starts at which does heavy
CPU (gzip), network (well, streaming with 1 MBit/sec) and disk I/O (reading
the data to back up from the disk), the machine seems to freeze.

Am I really the only one seeing this? This might be ancient hardware but
it definitely isn't exotic. :-)

I'll go back to 2.4.18-26.7.x for now.
