we have this kernel panic (then delete HTB) at all 2.6.18-x versions.
on older kernel (2.6.x) we have another panic (then delete tc filter)...
summary we have TC panics 1 year ago ;) Sysctl option "reboot on panic"

I'm not sure: do you mean it was less often? Did you try to report it
here? (Delete HTB: qdisc or classes?)

i was can't catch bug. now i have configured netconsole to catch panics.
for every clinet run command like:

If some error repeats you should report it even without logs. Sometimes
people here could help to catch this, but at least they know something
is wrong around and look at the code more carefully.

### command to recreate HTB
tc filter del dev eth1 protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 5 handle 4:9:a1 u32

...

I need more time to think about it.

In my desktop system i have "Black dead" (2.6.22-r5) All freeze (on  
monitor KDE desctop. mouse, keyboard, network and other not work. HDD  
led is on. No panics.)

Say that info you need. I will try get it.

I still think, at least .config and dmesg could be interesting.

PS. And also have we have strange bug in another computer (2.6.22-r5).
Have computer XEON_CPUx2 (4 CPU)

after boot have CPU0 and CPU3 SI = ~50%
after some time CPU0 SI = 0% and ksoftirqd/2 process have 100% cpu usage!
nat-new ~ # cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0       CPU1       CPU2       CPU3
  0:        403          0          0          0   IO-APIC-edge      timer

changes only LOC interrupts!

Maybe its info intresting for you. =)

Yes. It seems something loops or breaks with disabled interrupts. If
it's possible on this box try this 2.6.23-rc4 (and as minimum devices
and as maximum debug options in config as possible). Without anything
in logs or from the screen it could be hard, so maybe you need to
experiment with different configs and kernel versions.

Thanks,
Jarek P.

PS: if it's possible you can try this patch maybe with some fake load
plus these tc scripts (for testing only, linux 2.6.22.5).
