[Stephan Trebs <stacit@freenet.de>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-k7
Version: 2.6.16-18

During a run of "apt-get upgrade" the kernel had a malfunction:

  dietrich kernel: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1]

Afterwards the keyboard did work and I was able to switch between different 
text consoles (Alt-F1 .. Alt-F7), but I was not able to start a new process,  
log in using an other console or reboot via Ctrl-Alt-Del. The system 
responded to "ping", but did not open a new ssh session.


I am using Debian Testing i386 on an AMD Duron 1800, kernel 2.6.16-2-k7 and 
libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4.
