With the latest patches applied one of my OES2 SP3 server will not reach
init 3 any more. It is stuck after loading the nss kernel stuff and won't
show a login prompt. Here are the patches as applied:

I tried to downgrade to the previous kernel kernel-smp 2.6.16.60-0.81.2
without success. The debug kernel boots just fine, but without the nss
kernel modules of course. So I suspect a mismatch between the kernel und
the OES2 packets.
Did anybody here have similar problems?

Sorry, this was entirely my fault. The patch is fine. I messed up
nssstart.cfg, and the kernel patch triggered a reboot where the wrong
settings affected the kernel memory handling at nss startup. So this was
just a coincidence.
