If I said I am using 69.6 that probably means I am using 69.6.

In the original message (before you updated it), you've said a couple of words about testing branch, thus i thought it would be better to make it clear.

By the way, kdump is not the only way to collect the necessary logs, you might want to check up others, may be it would be easier to install serial or network console instead.

Quote: | I am not happy because this is supposed to be a stable kernel. I am no kernel test expert but I would think they would test for memory leaks before releasing a kernel to the stable branch. Seeing as how there is a newer kernel and they are apparently aware of the problems with the current kernel I don't see the point in gathering kernel dump info and, as I have already said, this is a production server. I'm not about to start experiments with it!

No guarantees anybody else ever experienced the very same issue you do, so it's your choice to collect info about the issue or just wait till somebody faces it too and provides the required info.

If your problem is solved - please, report it!
It's even more important than reporting the problem itself...
