Thanks a lot! Good job!

 I just compiled/rebooted two of my machines with -test5. And since now everything seems fine/stable. I noticed that rebooting my Digital Alpha AS1000 now works without problems. Before -test5 I had to recycle the machine completly after rebooting, because the SCSI-controller was not resettet correctly (it's a Qlogic ISP1020).

The other machine is an old Intel Celeron with 300 MHz.

Both kernels were compiled without problems. They are pretty small, because I do not need much stuff on those machines... They are just for compiling 2.6.x :)
