A maintenance window has been set for all servers on February 2, 2008 at 2 AM. During this time the latest kernel, 2.6.24, will be brought up. Please expect a 3 – 5 minute window of inaccessibility as the servers are brought down and restarted.
Several NIC fixes for the sky2 driver/NAPI API (“API” is quite redundant) have been introduced in this kernel and unfortunately the new network cards are affected by the bugs fixed in 2.6.24.
