Bug#409646: linux-image-2.6.18-3-powerpc: changing user leads to machine check in kernel mode
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-powerpc
Version: 2.6.18-7
Severity: normal
Sometimes, when I try to change user, the login fails and the system
freezes. This happens both when using xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver
with fast-user-switch-applet.
This is from /var/log/auth.log.0:
Feb 2 09:56:59 localhost xscreensaver: (pam_unix) authentication
failure; logname= uid=1002 euid=1002 tty=:0.0 ruser= rhost= user=root
Feb 2 09:57:01 localhost xscreensaver[4367]: FAILED LOGIN 1 ON DISPLAY
":20.0", FOR "fabietto"
And this from /var/log/kern.log.0:
Feb 2 09:57:14 localhost kernel: Machine check in kernel mode.
Feb 2 09:57:14 localhost kernel: Caused by (from SRR1=149030): Transfer
error ack signal
Feb 2 09:57:14 localhost kernel: Machine check in kernel mode.
