Package: linux-image-2.6.29-1-amd64 Version: 2.6.29-1 For me, the loopback interface breaks as well as ethernet CC'ing the other submitters, as that's something to test on their machines.
I think this is #521691, but my computer stays online far longer than the original report - so far I've had uptimes of between 45 minutes and 13h50m before the network dies. The upgrade to 2.6.29 is also the time that "eth0" became "eth1", unsure if that change is from the kernel or udev. It's an upgrade from a custom-built 2.6.26; and the bug occurs both with the official Debian 2.6.29 and a "make oldconfig" custom one. ping -f localhost ifconfig shows both RX and TX incrementing iptables shows OUTPUT's counter incrementing, but not INPUT's Wireshark shows no packets being sent or received (tried both the lo and eth1 interfaces) ping 1.1.1.1 gets stuck doing an ARP lookup for the default gateway's address ifconfig shows both RX and TX incrementing in roughly equal amounts iptables shows OUTPUT's counter incrementing, but not INPUT's Wireshark in promisc mode shows only the outgoing ARP requests, no responses ifconfig for the *loopback* interface shows both RX and TX incrementing too, but only while the ping is running ping this machine from another machine: ifconfig shows RX incrementing, TX constant iptables shows INPUT's counter being unchanged Wireshark (on this machine) in promisc mode shows no packets being received ping6 ip6-localhost same as IPv4 measuring background network noise Without running any pings, eth1's RX is around 1 packet per 20 seconds Using forcedeth with nForce4's on-board ethernet. 00:0a.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller (rev a3) "iptables -t raw -L -v" shows the same as the normal table - OUTPUT is seeing packets, PREROUTING isn't ip6tables shows the same result for the ip6-localhost ping Wireshark's main interface shows that the computer is making ARP requests for the default gateway's address, but getting no reply. Said gateway is itself crappy hardware, but this bug is new with the upgrade to 2.6.29. Wireshark's "Capture interfaces" dialog does show the packet counts incrementing. It also shows 5 USB buses, but their counters stay at zero. -- Package-specific info: root=/dev/sda5 ro noapic nolapic ** Not tainted (Big run-reportbug-as-root info attached bzip'd.
