Package: linux-2.6 Severity: normal While running linux-image-2.6.25-1-686 and 2-686 I had 3 system freezes in the 9 days I ran 2.6.25. I then went back to 2.6.24-1-686.
System halts: there is no kbd, no mouse, vcstime stops marking the time. Sound loops on the last bytes received, apparently. I was in X and had 3 or so VT's open. Once I was installing VMware and twice I was running rsync from a USB-HDD to an ATA drive. Nothing shows in the logs. I haven't had this since I bought this motherboard 3 years ago. I realize this is not enough information, but Debian kernels never freeze on me. I include the output of hwinfo --short, for whatever it's worth: =============================================================================================== /home/hugoTue May 20-11:03:19SDA6# hwinfo --short cpu: AMD Athlon(tm) , 2000 MHz keyboard: /dev/input/event0 AT Translated Set 2 keyboard /dev/input/event1 AT Raw Set 2 keyboard mouse: /dev/input/mice A4 Tech USB Optical Mouse /dev/input/mice A4 Tech USB Optical Mouse monitor: Samsun SyncMaster 753DFX graphics card: nVidia GeForce4 MX 4000 sound: EPoX VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller Creative SB0410 SBLive! 24-bit storage: Floppy disk controller VIA VT82C586/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT8233/A/C/VT8235 PIPC Bus Master IDE EPoX VIA VT6420 SATA RAID Controller network: eth0 EPoX VT6103 network interface: ppp0 Network Interface vmnet1 Ethernet network interface vmnet8 Ethernet network interface eth0 Ethernet network interface lo Loopback network interface disk: /dev/sdb WDC WD80 0JD-60LUA0 /dev/sda ST380211 0A /dev/hdc ST380011A /dev/hda Maxtor 6Y080P0 partition: /dev/sdb1 Partition /dev/sdb2 Partition /dev/sdb3 Partition /dev/sdb4 Partition /dev/sdb5 Partition /dev/sdb6 Partition /dev/sdb7 Partition /dev/sda1 Partition /dev/sda2 Partition /dev/sda3 Partition /dev/sda4 Partition /dev/sda5 Partition /dev/sda6 Partition /dev/sda7 Partition /dev/hdc1 Partition /dev/hdc2 Partition /dev/hdc3 Partition <-----This partition has 2.6.25-2-686 installed and got the freezes /dev/hdc4 Partition /dev/hdc5 Partition /dev/hdc6 Partition /dev/hdc7 Partition /dev/hda1 Partition /dev/hda2 Partition /dev/hda5 Partition /dev/hda6 Partition /dev/hda7 Partition /dev/hda8 Partition /dev/hda9 Partition /dev/hda10 Partition cdrom: /dev/hdd LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S usb controller: VIA USB 2.0 VIA VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller VIA VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller VIA VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller VIA VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller bios: BIOS bridge: EPoX VT8237 ISA bridge [KT600/K8T800/K8T890 South] VIA VT8237 PCI Bridge VIA KT880 Host Bridge VIA KT880 Host Bridge VIA KT880 Host Bridge VIA KT880 Host Bridge VIA KT880 Host Bridge VIA KT880 Host Bridge hub: D-Link Hub Linux 2.6.24-1-686 ehci_hcd EHCI Host Controller Linux 2.6.24-1-686 uhci_hcd UHCI Host Controller Linux 2.6.24-1-686 uhci_hcd UHCI Host Controller Linux 2.6.24-1-686 uhci_hcd UHCI Host Controller Linux 2.6.24-1-686 uhci_hcd UHCI Host Controller memory: Main Memory unknown: FPU DMA controller PIC Timer RTC Keyboard controller /dev/lp0 Parallel controller PS/2 Controller PnP Unclassified device PnP Unclassified device PnP Unclassified device PnP Unclassified device PnP Unclassified device PnP Unclassified device PnP Unclassified device PnP Unclassified device PnP Unclassified device PnP Unclassified device PnP Unclassified device PnP Unclassified device PnP Unclassified device /dev/ttyS0 16550A American Power Conversion Back-UPS Pro 500 ============================================================================================== -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
