Oliver, I initially tought it might just be X locking up, so I tried the copy from the Console and noticed the stack dump. Switched back to 2.6.9 this morning, copied around 200 GB of data, and since that worked I was able to add the 200GB drive back into the degradded Raid 5 array which rebuilt fine. Run memtest over night a few times to test the ram, but I'm blaming the kernel package as I have not had an issue all day, the machine only lasted 5 minutes (under load) with the newer kernel. Would be nice to know what exactly the problem is but I have no leads at this stage. I am using two different IDE controllers in this machine so it might be a driver issue in the newer kernel.

I'm having "issues" with my laptop lately. It too is running 2.6.11 (FC3 package). Often after I unplug my USB2 hard drive or camera it locks up solid. Never used to. Though it may also be the new 3rd party 512MB ram I installed recently. I can't be sure just yet.

Hey Guys,
I have installed FC3 on my server machine and have noticed huge problems when running the latest kernel release, 2.6.11-1.27_FC3. When ever I try to copy a larger amount of files from one partition to another the machine locks up and just dumps millions of lines of what looks to be a stack dump, I left it dumping to see what it said when it stoppped, but after 8 hours while I was at work it still was running past too fast to read.
I have switched back to the stock 2.6.9 kernel that comes on the CD and have no problems doing the same thing.
Anyone else had any problems with the newer kernel pacakge?
Side note, I had originally planned to run Ubuntu on the machine but couldn't get it to boot off a Raid 1 /boot and / on LVM, FC3 handled installing on this setup without an issue.
