We're running Mandrake 9.0 on the stock secure kernel with my own 2.2.7a-3mdk packages (which will be on the mirrors soon, RPMs on my webpage which is linked beloew) in production serving up 130GB+ of disk with no problems. Did some tests with 4GB+ files via smbclient to test the fixes, and the server (Dell 2500 with eepro100) is stable as a rock. We did see some issues with a tulip card, but way before we even got samba running (ifdown eth1 would oops). A number of Mandrake 9.0 desktops we have run with rtl8139 (using the 8139too driver), with which I haven't seen any problems. Do you see any errors on the various consoles on the machine (CTRL-ALT-F1 through CTRL-ALT-F12)?
