Andreas Barth a écrit :Hi, today I tried to resurrect our buildd on schroeder (which is from architecture sparc). While trying to do so, I had a couple of strange behaviours like vi freezing after 20-30 seconds, or I couldn't about tail with ctrl+c or suspend with ctrl+z. This didn't change after a reboot. Machine was running our official 3.2-kernel. After Martin rebooted the machine into oldstables 2.6.32 kernel, things are working as they should, and the buildd is up again. Question: Is this a known issue? How can we get a fix for that? (I would assume DSA will consider it a non-option to not be able to upgrade to our default kernels.)Hello,I have seen same freezes on Blade 2000 (2 * US III+/900 Cu), on U5 (US IIi/440), but not on a server that run with four US IIIi and not on a T1000 (sun4v/US T1). I have tested 3.2 debian kernels and official ones and both hang. I suppose there is another strange bug with special MMU. 2.6.32 is stable but on sparc64, 3.2 is not. I have not tested newer kernels.
I've got 3.2 grafted onto Squeeze or Lenny on various older systems (from memory: U1, T1, U60, E4500), and it appears stable. In case it's significant, in most cases it's been built on the machine it's to run on.
