Hello all.

can't reboot it!. Soft Watchdog not reboot pc in this situation.  =(

At screen we see messages like this (when it freeze and i was near monitor):

All tests in 2.6.26.2 kernel... now i try compile 2.6.26.5 kernel, but
if KernelOops is right - its not  will help.

I hope NetDev help!
If any information or test is needed - please write!

Thanks for anyone!
