Package: linux-image-2.6-parisc64
Version: 2.6.18+5
Severity: important

A bug which affects all parisc kernels since 2.6.18-rc2 affects the 
debian parisc kernel as well.

Under some random circumstances, SCSI devices (such as the root disk) 
will get offlined, rendering the box totally unuseable:

sd 1:0:5:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
EXT3-fs error (device sda3): ext3_find_entry: reading directory #1175041 
offset 0
sd 1:0:5:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
sd 1:0:5:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
sd 1:0:5:0: rejecting I/O to offline device

I can't paste the initial messages from the kernel bug since they were 
out of dmesg at this point, but this is a known bug already reported on 
parisc-linux mailing lists, see eg this thread:

http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2007-January/031078.html

So far this bug has been isolated on 64bit SMP machines. I can't tell 
for sure whether 32bit and/or UP are safe.

Thanks, closing the bug, then.
