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.
* forcedeth stops working after a few minutes
See thread in the kernel ML.
* on every boot it complains about broken superblock features and wants to run a fs check (ext4; different hds; totally random) -> make backups ;-)
No problems here on ext4. No complains about broken superblocks, etc. Made several reboots to test.
* s626 has to be blacklisted; otherwise udev will take a long time and a modporbe process keeps hanging and cannot be killed
Can't be reproduced here, booting is normal as always.
* there might be a problem with the nvidia graphics driver
Works here with this controller: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GS] [10de:0392] (rev a1)
So you better shouldn't use it unless you don't need network access or you have backups of all your data. :-)
Good advice as always ;)
