kernels > 2.6.32.12-linode25 stall ssh? (Gentoo x86)

general

Hey,

I have a up-to-date Gentoo box. When I use 2.6.32.12-linode25 or older I never have an issue with SSH stalling. But when using newer kernels SSH will stall after a day. I can login, the MOTD shows and prompt but I can't enter any commands. The server processes are still running and the servers performance isn't effected, only SSH.

Any ideas what could be going on?

edit:

linode28 also works.

There were timing related bugs in the kernels you mentioned… Always use "Latest 2.6" to get our most recent maintained and working kernel.

The problem is, I can't use the latest. They lag out once the MOTD shows after one day. Since linode28 has been out, which is still .32 everything is still working for a few days. With the newer kernels do I need to change timing settings in the ssh config?

Our "Latest 2.6 Paravirt" points to 2.6.32.16-linode28, so please always use that pointer, and you'll always get our latest, known working kernel.

Is there a feed or something for us to know when that gets updated? I'm using the pointer, but if there's an update, I don't get it until I reboot.
