Subject:upgrade from 4.8 SMP to 4.9 SMP causes unexplained rebooting!

I had rebooting problems with 4.9 that I did not have with 4.8 or a recent 4-STABLE - I would recommend backing up to 4.8 and then going to 4.10 when released. Alternately, a recent 4-STABLE will be very close to 4.10.

Inevitably there will be several people on this group that will say that this is a sign of bad hardware, but if so, my hardware is very choosy about which releases it will fail with.

(yes sorry for the cross-posting but I haven't been making much progress with this problem and my poor disks are taking a beating from all this rebooting)

A 4.8-STABLE machine I have been running with no problems for over 130 days straight uptime is now having unexplained reboots AFTER upgrading to 4.9 STABLE.
