I've confirmed this problem with several 10.04 LTS (amd64) machines VM's running on a VMware vSphere system. Each machine that had an uptime of 211 days suffered a sudden softlockup, triggered by an innocent-looking 'apt-get install libyaml-perl'. The machines were running 2.6.32-30-server.
Some consoles showed the "stuck for 17163091968s" message, others just these "stuck for 61s" and "task ... blocked for more than 120 seconds". I've also seen a variant with the value 17163091988s. Other machines that were quite identical, but running either a bit older kernel (2.6.32-26-server, uptime 365 days) or a newer one (2.6.32-33-server or newer, uptime less than 115 days) were not affected by this issue. Is there a way to reproduce the error? Maybe a way to set the problematic clock value to somewhere near the 210 day limit? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/805341 Title: sched clock overflows in 208 days (i386 and amd64) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/805341/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
