Sad as it is reported crashes are still happening and I'm getting more 
worried each day especially since today when the system booted to single 
due to unexpected soft-updates inconsistencies. (!) :-((

Panics/reboots started right after upgrade to 8.0 and they do not happen 
when I use wired instead of iwi/wlan connection (both in lagg).
