Update to the below:
Both broken servers are AMD based and were running the 2.6.18-3-486
kernel. After being paged all night (Tuesday evening / Wednesday
morning) I finally rolled back the second server to 2.6.17 so I could
get some sleep. The first broken server still wasn't delivering received
faxes this morning but that turned out to be a Hylafax FaxDisaptch file
configuration error. So good for the manual... <grin>
It is really looking right now that the 2.6.18-3-486 kernel for
Debian Etch is BROKEN at least on AMD machines. The other servers that
are running 2.6.18-3-686 are all Intel based and so far have NOT shown
any problems. I'll be loading 2.6.18-3-486 on my test machine at home
(Intel based) to see if I can reproduce problems on it...
I'm still looking into it. More later...

:: Debian Update Broke Servers
Goose reports that Debian Etch (testing) updated kernels to 2.6.18-3
and broke two of three servers on his employer's network. Actually, it
may have broken all three. When he became aware of the damage on the
first two boxes, Goose left the third at 2.6.17. He checked his work
servers from the lab and found NTP had changed too. There may be other
problems he won't see until Wednesday.
The lab server is running 2.6.18-3. We didn't notice any problems
aside from the missing GnuCash directory.
