2.6.29 seems to be the most unstable kernel series for quite a while, at least for me. First Intel SSD disks weren't detected on Nvidia chipsets. Then the whole kernel freezes (hard reboot needed) during heavy NFS load when used as a NFS server. ALSA sometimes fails to init the HDMI audio output. The forcedeth driver put the NIC in some weird hard offline mode on module unload, which even survives a power cycle. Even BIOS think that no cable is connected... I have to temporarily boot XP and press reset when the nic lights go green again to be able to netboot with gPXE. Right now I'm running 2.6.30-rc4 and it already seems much more stable than 2.6.29.[012] ever were.

2.6.29.0 had severe problems with networking on older cards (the whole
network stack would freeze after a few minutes). Fixed in 2.6.29.1.

not sure about nfs, but these are the ones that seem to be popping up related to network stack wrt e1000e and forcedeth

I've personally been tripped on the forcedeth issue.
