Bug#389663: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686 freeze notebook Toshiba with HT technology.
Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686
Version: 2.6.17-9
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
The kernel image provided by Debian freezes my system without notice. No relations with used program nor
up-time uses. The system slow down fasta until freeze. All commands and consoles break, and energy unplug
is the only solution to reboot. I try to disable HyperThreading in SETUP and all systems returns to function,
so, something happens with this image and SMP option. The older linux-image-2.6.16-2-686-smp is OK.
