It seems the 2.6.29 kernel has a network issue, which will be fixed in .29.1 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/811417 At the moment keep an downgrade kernel in your cache if you will be affected by this bug.
I want to underline this. I have serious problems on two different computers.
* the intel xorg driver just produces garbage (tested UXA and EXA; vesa works fine)
I am also experiencing this problem (on i686). I'm using XAA. I haven't tried UXA and EXA. I'll just downgrade to the kernel26 in core for now.
* forcedeth stops working after a few minutes * ipw2200 does not work (it does not find any networks) * on every boot it complains about broken superblock features and wants to run a fs check (ext4; different hds; totally random) -> make backups ;-) * s626 has to be blacklisted; otherwise udev will take a long time and a modporbe process keeps hanging and cannot be killed * there might be a problem with the nvidia graphics driver
So you better shouldn't use it unless you don't need network access or you have backups of all your data. :-)
