Bug#481346: linux-image-2.6.18-6-686: kernel oops handling paging request
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-6-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch4
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
The problem arise in a etch box with the 2.6.18 kernel family and disappear using previous 2.6.8 kernel image (from sarge). In syslog I can find:
