I'm pretty sure that U3 will have the same kernel. As such it would probably be best to fix this now, instead of waiting for U3 to come out. Could you tell us when the kernel panic happens? Processor? i586? i686? architecture? single? multiprocessor? ... etc ... any options with which it works (like noacpi & others).

For now, I'm running the -22.0.2 kernel since this is the last kernel known to work on that hardware. I upgraded 5 PCs. 3 of them have the exact same hardware and the exact same failure (kernel panic).
One of those server isn't in production yet so it would be possible to do some testing. The above informations were gathered from a remote SSH session. I cannot give more details for now and I won't be able to tell more about that problem until next wednesday.
Gilles.
Is this a name brand server or a whitebox? Maybe if you have details on what hardware is in it. Does it by any chance have a nvidia chipset? Will it boot with kernel options like -noapic or -noht Maybe a check for a bios update on the system not in production.
