Bug#494365: 2.6.26 hangs on opteron CPUs
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.26-1
Severity: important
Hi,
it seems that 2.6.26 (whether the debian package or the kernel.org
kernel) locks up after a while on Debian's DL385G1 systems.
After a while, sooner with more disk IO/filesystem load, the system
hangs: it continues to do stuff but everything involving disk hangs
forever.
The systems work just fine on a 2.6.25.10 kernel.
The servers have Opterons like this:
cpu family : 15
model : 33
so http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0808.0/0882.html might
explain it.
