Re: Debian AMD64 freeze ! (Update)

It might be a problem with the bcm43xx driver. Indeed, I experienced
several lockups with debian ppc on my ibook. The last message was
exactly the same as yours, where bcm43xx restarts the controller.

I'll have to try the beta drivers again as the last time, the one in
debian experimental didn't have the SMBus disabled which was causing a
freeze at boot [at least for me].

Shouldn't the default be linux-image-2.6-amd64 so the kernel does get
automatically updated to the latest versions? At least with grub there
is little harm in adding more kernels because it doesn't "forget" the
old ones like lilo.

have you tried alt+sysreq ? Or even just the num lock key - does the light

I checked before: No ssh possible. The whole machine froze. 

I use proprietryry drivers (Nvidia and fglrx), but this seems not to be the 
reason (as other users confirmed).

Additionally: The machine also froze, when I had switched to console (CTRL 
+ALT + 2 for example). I suppose, thats makes no difference, as X is still 
running, does it ?

My machine just froze again ! I checked all, and again: No ssh possible, eben 
no ping-reply. 

Here is the last entry from /var/log/kern.log just before the crash and my 
next reboot (I had to hard reset). You can also see, how I start my machine.
Further on you can see, an APIC-error (I never tried starting with the 
option "noapic")
And you see the dbus-error.
