Bug#404198: kernel-image-2.4.27-3-k7: Repeated XFree86 crashes related to a kernel bug according to dmesg
Package: kernel-image-2.4.27-3-k7
Version: 2.4.27-10sarge5
Severity: grave
Justification: breaks the whole system
Hello,
I'm using my Sarge computer with two constant XFree86 sessions on vt7 and vt8 without any trouble
for years.
This morning, as I was mailing with Mozilla (and even if don't see how it could
be related or relevant to this bug), my session crashed unexpectedly,
and not once but two times !
What surprised me most is that I can't found anything about it in the
two Xfree86.logs. It was certainly not startup crashes so I was a bit
lost ?!
Actually, I found something in the dmesg output wich seems to link these
crashes with a kernel bug related to "vmscan.c:433!"...
So I submit in a txt file the two parts of dmesg which are related to
these crashes.
-------------------------------------------------------
The last part of my XFree86.20.log (with an apm_bios thing, as in dmesg
output's):

Ps : At first move, I've classified this as "critical", but it seems a
little overkill, so I've edited my report to severity=grave. hope it
won't mess the processing...
