Bug#497870: Bug is still there in version 2.6.26-13 + info
I'm now using 2.6.26-13, but the problem is still there.
I've stopped doing large transfers of many files, because this bug
manifests itself each time I do. But tonite I had to, and I discovered
something that might help: I sshed into another computer and used scp
to put files from there onto my T61p. When the T61p crashed, I walked
over to the other computer, and discovered that I was still listed as
logged into a user acount there via ssh, as if the T61p was still
active. Scp was also still listed as active. Maybe this means that
there is some kind of connection after all, even though you can't get
"into" the T61p after the crash? I couldn't ping the T61p though, and
when I did a hard reboot, no files had been transfered after the crash.
I just thought I'd tell you this. I haven't managed to try out the
2.6.28 kernel. I tried compiling one from the debian source in
kernel-archive, but the compile failed (I followed the instructions in
kernel-package to the letter).
The problem seems to have been solved in arch linux:

I'm not technical enough to quite understand what they're saying, but
it looks useful.
