Trouble with kernel 2.6.18 (-1-486)
Hi,
I'm running (somewhat uptodate) unstable. I had been using kernels 2.4.27 and 2.6.12, which both worked fine. I recently added 2.6.18 (-1-486), and Bad Things are happening: a) kernel oopses, and b) occasionally (sometimes pretty often) keypresses are multiplied into dozens of themselves. The latter occurs across applications and even in WM controls; it can be quite problematic when it happens when I hit ctrl-d in Sylphhed :). I haven't noticed any pattern or any triggering events. Has anyone seen anything similar? Should / how do I report this? reportbug against the 2.6.18 kernel binary package? How do I capture the oops info if the system is nonfunctional (write it down manually)? BTW, I see that 2.6.16 is also in the archive. Are there any important differences between .16 and .18 that I should know about? Would I have better luck with .16? 2.4.27 seems to still work fine; 2.6.12 boots but X fails, perhaps because the 2.6.18 installation added udev and removed hotplug.
