I upgraded a machine from 2.6.11.7 to 2.6.12.2 today and the only thanks I got was a brand new kernel panic. From the backtrace it seems that the dc395x driver is the culprit. From what I can tell it hasn't undergone any changes between the two versions. Image of kernel panic: http://craffe.se/img_0041.jpg dmesg from 2.6.11.7 included. Rgds Pierre
