Right now, report but, if it FINDS the named package, dies with an error. So doing it this way allowed me to report the bug. Does this still occur in the 2.6.30 kernel?

The motherboard has a via chipset. This type of crash out can be related to IDE-1 problems, clicking disks, and such and possibly the firmware is hitting the IDE-1 IRQ or trying wayward accesses. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (650, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-davidb (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
