I've seen a couple of lockups with 2.6.29 on my S101 (yes, I know,
model not supported by the DebianEeePc team, but still). For me, these
lockups have happened a few minutes after I've started using bluetooth,
both the built-in bluetooth and with a separate usb bluetooth dongle
(with the built-in bluetooth disabled in BIOS). Bluetooth works like
a charm with 2.6.28. I've seen no problems rebooting after such a
lockup, though.
