--- Begin Message ---Package: linux-image-amd64 Version: 2.6.32+29 Severity: minor Tags: patch With certain types of hardare (such as the Dell PowerEdge C5220 configured with the LSI SAS2008 disk controller) the command 'sas2icru 0 display' consistently segfaults when running the latest released Debian Squeeze kernel. The sas2ircu tool is a binary tool provided by the hardware vendor, which makes tracking down the error a bit tricky. We have, however, identified 5 line patch in Linus' upstream tree that applies cleanly to the stable debian kernel tree that resolves this issue for us. The commit ID of this change is ebda4d38df542e1ff4747c4daadfc7da250b4fa6 We have been running a few hundred systems for a few months with this patch applied and have observed no regressions.

--- Begin Message ---Version: 3.4.1-1~experimental.1+rm Debian 6.0 Long Term Support has now ended, and the 'linux-2.6' source package will no longer be updated. This bug is being closed on the assumption that it does not affect the kernel versions in newer Debian releases. If you can still reproduce this bug in a newer release, please reopen the bug report and reassign it to 'src:linux' and the affected version of the package. You can find the package version for the running kernel by running: uname -v or the versions of all installed kernel packages by running: dpkg -l 'linux-image-[34]*' | grep ^.i and looking at the third column. I apologise that we weren't able to provide a specific resolution for this bug. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings - Debian developer, member of Linux kernel and LTS teams
