Bug#222620: Upgrade to 2.3.2.ds1-10 segfaults on kernel 2.6.0-test9-1-386
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10
Package: libc6
I was running the 2.6.0-test7-1-386 kernel package when I tried to
ungrade; bash, ldd and many other programs segfaulted. 'Ash' did not.
After checking with bugs.debian.org I switched back to a 2.4.21 kernel
which has completed the upgrade successfully.
On attempted reboot to 2.6, lots of segfaults and:
INIT:PANIC: segmentation violation at 0x8049f52 (code)! sleeping for 30
seconds.
Hard reboot required.
I then tried debian kernel image 2.6.0-test9-1-386 and this gives the
same segfaults.
BUT!
After all this I've found that this is only when running inside
vmware. Therefor I think the severity for this is at most 'normal'
and it is likely that this is a vmware bug.
For vmware: Host windows 2k-sp4, version workstation 4.0.5.6030
