Bug#412194: linux-image-2.6.18-3-k7: total system freeze after max. 10 minutes uptime
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-k7
Version: linux-image-2.6.18-3-k7 and linux-image-2.6.18-4-k7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
linux-image-2.6.18-3-k7 and linux-image-2.6.18-4-k7 total system
freeze after max. 10 minutes uptime
Dear maintainers,
strange trouble since 6 months, to be more specific:
Ever since kernel 2.6.18-* hit the debian testing and unstable
ftp-stores my system totally freezes right after 5 to 10 minutes
uptime with *any* of the 2.6.18-*-kernel-packages.
NO logfile entry is left. NO panic or such on screen. Just a 100%
frozen shell and system. Until the system freezes even "top" displays
a nearly 100% idle status for both cpus. Disk i/o is low as well.
Overall system load is very low, still it freezes. 8/
So it is very hard for me to understand WHAT EXACTLY could be the
reason for this. Even more, because linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7 (and all
the ones before!) runs smoothly here for months (uptime)! 8|
I decided to wait some releases of the 2.6.18-tree and let you already
stressed out maintainer people do your job. However, now after 6
months have passed i tried linux-image-2.6.18-4-k7 today - and guess
what happend after 8 minutes after booting - obviously the system just
froze again. :/
Please give me a chance to help you find the reasons for this annoying
bug - cause i would like to enjoy 2.6.18 as well. :)
hardware:
Tyan Tiger MPX S2466N-4M mainboard
2 x AMD Athlon MP 2600 CPUs
3ware 8506-4 SATA-RAID
Just let me know please, if i can assist you with further details
(dmesg, bootup logs, debug, whatever you wish..)!
Thank you very much!
