(Please CC me as I am not subscribed) I recently ran into kernel panics with my shiny new 2.6.11 kernel. After a lot of grief I found out that the connlimit module used to have a bug which lead into an inevitable NULL pointer dereference and a panic. After removing all iptables rules using connlimit and rebooting I got no further panics during 48 hours - the kernel would panic in less than 10 hours when the rules were still there. This was highly suggestive that there was still something wrong. And indeed, there was: the original problem was never fixed! I found out that a patch had been discussed and apparently found good (on May 19). Someone was supposed to commit the patch. However, it seems the patch was never committed - I took a look at the SVN trunk for pom-ng today. Please fix this at your earliest convenience.
