Bug#482100: linux-image-2.6.25-3-686-bigmem : Complete system freeze
Package: linux-image-2.6.25-3-686-bigmem
Version: 2.6.25-3-686-bigmem
Severity: important
I've tried building 2.6.25 Sid kernel from sources with my working
.config, resulting
in complete system freeze a few minutes or seconds after starting the
new kernel.
Same result with different config options. So, to rule out
misconfiguration I
installed the 2.6.25-3-686-bigmem from Sid, it leads to the same result
: complete
system freeze a few minutes after boot.
To rule out alien module responsibility i let the computer run in
console mode, no
x-server running, no external module loaded (I usually use nvidia's blob
and uvcvideo
from svn). I got the same symptoms : computer totally non-responsive,
keyboard frozen,
no input possible.
The only output I got before the freeze was :

=======================
I could not find anything else outside of a few messages regarding lost
interrupts,
randomly appearing from boot time to the freeze.
The same machine has been running Debian Lenny happily ever before, and
still is on custom compiled 2.6.24 kernel.
I've just tried compiling a vanilla kernel from kernel.org, with the
same result, so it's most probably version related and not Debian only
related, I'll file a report there too.
