Package: linux-image-2.6.18-5-amd64
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch1
Severity: important

I've recently upgraded my hardware (motherboard + cpu + ram) and am now
getting Linux crashes in a variety of situations.  I've detected them
when any of the following conditions are met:

  - When starting a second X session.
  - When time goes backwards (e.g. due to ntpdate) while X is running (but
    NOT when X isn't running)
  - When stopping X.

When this happens, terminal is switched to console, and a kernel backtrace is
displayed.  As for the backtrace, I've seen it at least once hitting functions
related to intel driver, but it seems to be completely different every time.
I can get it captured if that's of any use.

Also, sometimes the crash is complete, and sometimes SysReq key responds
allowing for a cleaner reboot.

Some notes on my system:

  - Two cpu cores (Could parallelism be an issue?  If it's possible to disable
    SMP without recompile I could give that a quick try)

  - X driver is xserver-xorg-video-i810.  Card model:

$ sudo lspci -v

closing as not a kernel bug.
xserver-xorg-video-intel improved a lot since the etch release.
an upgrade is recommended. we have several hardware at labs
that needs that newer driver.

best regards
