Are you able to get logs from right before the hang (for example with netconsole)? If you have time to bisect to find the exact change that introduced this, that would be best of all --- it works like this: 1. Name an executable with the following content "as" and put it in your $PATH before /usr/bin, to work around Bug#620448. #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/as --size-check=warning "$@" 2. # apt-get install build-essential git-core $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git $ git bisect start v2.6.36-rc6 v2.6.35 $ make localmodconfig; # minimal configuration $ make deb-pkg # dpkg -i ../<name of package> # reboot ... test test test ... $ cd ~/src/linux $ git bisect good; # if it works $ git bisect bad; # if the hang occurs $ git bisect skip; # if some other bug makes it hard to test # git checks out an appropriate next revision to test $ make silentoldconfig; # reuse configuration $ make deb-pkg # dpkg -i ../<name of package> # reboot ... test test test ... 3. Continue until it says the "first bad commit", or until bored. In the latter case, run "git bisect log" to present the results. If the gitk package is installed, you can run "git bisect visualize" at any time to watch the regression range narrowing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
