Package: dselect
Version: 1.13.21
Problem: When scrolling thru the main package listing using the
down arrow key when I step from Package: wamerican-huge to the next
package which is Package: wbritish-huge the system hard locks and can only
be restored by a hard reset or power off. This is completely consistent.
These 2 packages are a long way down the list.
Distribution: DVD's
Origin: Debian
Label: Debian
Suite: testing
Codename: etch
Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2006 19:57:53 UTC
Architectures: i386
Components: main contrib
Description: Debian Testing distribution - Not Released
Occurs with kernel "vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-686-smp"
and also with my own custom compiled kernel.
Linux wolfthermal 2.6.17.9 #7 SMP Mon Oct 2 21:32:33 EST 2006 i686
GNU/Linux
Clibraray: libc-2.3.6.so
# dselect configuration file
#
# This file can contain default options for dselect. All command-line
# options are allowed. Values can be specified by putting them after
# the option, separated by whitespace and/or an `=' sign.
#
dselect.cfg (END)
System details:
Gigapyte 8I945P pro M/B
LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53C896 scsi controller
Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV380 [Radeon X600]
I gig ram,
I can't even begin to imagine what is wrong here and I have been using
linux now since Kernel 0.96d from 1993. As I have said above problem here
is completely conssistant, ie can be repeated at will any time.
I appoligize for any lack of info here as i have siad i don't know where
to begin to look.
??? Is it possible that the pionter that keeps track of the current
package on the list is some how going out of range????
If any more info can help please get in touch

This smells like a hardware problem, maybe a broken memory module,
motherboard or similar. Because of that I'm just going to close this.
If you have additional information, or can still reproduce this,
preferably on other systems too, please reopen.
