Bug#600656: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: Crash after nullpointer dereference during gparted reading a disk
Hi Moritz,
I did run memtest for a day or so, without any findings. I did not repeat the test yet, as it appears a bit dangerous to me. After Ben's remark, I was wondering if perhaps the respective disk, or the IDE controller it is connected to, might have a hardware problem. This would not necessarily show up in everyday operation, as the operational system disk is connected via SATA. Certainly I will try with a later kernel version in a quiet minute!
Cheers,
Andreas.
