Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12 Severity: important
On a Dell PowerEdge 650 server, I got kernel panics with testing kernel 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11. I copied the output displayed on the console, which gives something like this : [<.......>] dst_output [<.......>] ip_queue_xmit [<.......>] dst_output [<.......>] tcp_transmit_skb [<.......>] tcp_push_one [<.......>] tcp_sendmsg [<.......>] inet_sendmsg [<.......>] do_sock_write [<.......>] sock_writev [<.......>] do_wp_page [<.......>] __handle_mm_fault [<.......>] autoremove_wake_function [<.......>] __next_cpu [<.......>] sock_writev [<.......>] do_readv_writev [<.......>] vfs_writev [<.......>] sys_writev [<.......>] sysenter_past_esp Code: .... EIP: [<c024c735>] tcp_tso_segment ... <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt Looking for kernel + panic + tcp_tso_segment + sysenter_past_esp on google, I found a bug report with similar errors (#391955), which seems to happen on a different system but with a network e1000 driver too... dunno if this is related to the same problem or not :( FYI here's the hardware : # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Broadcom GCNB-LE Host Bridge (rev 32) 00:00.1 Host bridge: Broadcom GCNB-LE Host Bridge 00:04.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27) 00:05.0 IDE interface: Silicon Image, Inc.

Now, I'm running latest as of today (2.6.18.dfsg.1-12) and will pray for not getting the same issue again.
