Hm, here it obviously helps to have a contract with a Linux company to
help you fix bugs ;-)
(Linbit, SUSE/Novell, or that small student shop next door from you; one
of the advantages of Open Source is the great freedom.)
But, the SLES9 kernel (which is available for download somewhere on
ftp.suse.com too) or the recent 2.6.11 kernels have been pretty good for
me.
(One of the kernel bugs I was chasing turned out to be a hideous memory
chip in my laptop. Figures.)
Anyway, with drbd, I think 2.6 would be the way to go nowadays.
