It does not only enable PAE but also rewrites a large portion of the vm=20
infrastructure. If you can't get a panic, or core, then I would stick a ps=
=20
and sysctl -a vm in a crontab */2 and see where it leads. The patch changes=
 a=20
lot of things in a lot of parts of the kernel, so even if I would understan=
d=20
most of it an educated guess without a kerneldump is nothing more than a=20
guess.

The original poster had a production server running into trouble and asked=
=20
about any known issues, so I told him how to get his server back in shape, =
so=20
he can worry about the why part later, in a debug environment.

I have one old box to migrate this week, which is a non-critical box with a=
=20
lot of diskspace, so I could do two seperate installs and compare notes.
