Package: nvidia-kernel-source Version: 1.0.8174-1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Upon loading the X Window System (xserver-xorg, specifically), the system becomes unusable and log files are unable to be read/determined. Either X, startx or gdm provides this failure. The problem exists as well with kernels 2.6.12, 2.6.13 and 2.6.14. This bug reoccurs everytime. The system is rendered inoperable at the userland level. System responds to network ping but ssh does not work. Sysrq requests can prevent filesystem damage: SUIESUB. Disabling PAT results in the same problem. The system this occurs on is a Toshiba 5105-S501 Pentium4-based laptop with the following characteristics: output of lspci: 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845 845 (Brookdale) Chipset Host Bridge (rev 04) 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82845 845 (Brookdale) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 04) 0000:00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM USB (Hub #1) (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM USB (Hub #2) (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM USB (Hub #3) (rev 02) 0000:00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev 42) 0000:00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801CAM ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801CAM IDE U100 (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 02) 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 440 Go] (rev a3) 0000:02:07.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) 0000:02:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Controller (rev 42) 0000:02:0b.0 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC100 PCI to Cardbus Bridge with ZV Support (rev 32) 0000:02:0b.1 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC100 PCI to Cardbus Bridge with ZV Support (rev 32) 0000:02:0c.0 System peripheral: Toshiba America Info Systems TC6371AF SmartMedia Controller (rev 03) 0000:02:0d.0 System peripheral: Toshiba America Info Systems SD TypA Controller (rev 03) output of cat /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 2 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 Mobile CPU 1.70GHz stepping : 4 cpu MHz : 1694.793 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm bogomips : 3350.52 output of nvidia kernel driver loading: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
