Bug#690814: linux-image-3.2.0-3-486: vmlinuz-3.2.0-3-486 locks up on VIA EPIA CL-6000
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.23-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Installation of Wheezy on this VIA EPIA CL-6000 box went fine but when the system booted after the installation, it locked up at different points in time. With "locked
up", I mean that nothing could be done anymore: my ssh session stalled, the machine did not answer echo requests, I could not do anything at the console. At this point,
the LED indicating disk activity was turned on.
I had to use the power button to restart the machine. The first time I rebooted, the system got stuck when trying to mount one of the filesystems. Rebooted again and got
the login prompt. Did some more reboots and found out that the system hangs during more or less 50% of the reboots. Since the disk activity LED was always on, I tried to
provoke some disk activity e.g. by installing some packages. This effectively locked up the system. I only once got the system in a locked up state without having the disk
activity LED turned on.
Ran memtest86+ (4 runs) without any problem. Tried another (identical) harddisk and tried to use the other IDE controller but always ran into the same problem.
Since this machine had been running Lenny just fine, and Squeeze also worked fine, I decided to install a 2.6 kernel. In Wheezy however, linux-image-2.6-486 depends on
linux-image-486, which in turn depends on linux-image-3.2.0-3-486. I therefore installed the 2.6 kernel from Squeeze. Note that it took several reboots to get the deb file
on the system and to install it. With this kernel, the box runs just fine.
Note that I also have a VIA EPIA PD-6000, which is almost identical, but runs Wheezy with the 3.2 kernel just fine.
Note that, as this machine cannot run version 3.2.0-3-486 of the kernel, I used reportbug when the machine was running version 2.6.32-5-486 of the kernel. This kernel is
the one from Squeeze.
