Package: linux-image-2.6.21-1-powerpc Version: 2.6.21-4 Severity: important File: kernel
I don't know if this is a hardware problem or a kernel bug. the same hardware had served correctly for years, so I sincerely hope it's a kernel bug... I'm not sure when the problem started to display... a crontab line for root runs ntpdate -q every single minute... the drift looks more or less constant, until occasional jumps. these jumps are coincident with some kernel logging... here are the syslog lines, bracketed by the output of ntpdate: ... 28 May 16:46:04 ntpdate[27236]: step time server 206.57.44.149 offset -23.773322 sec May 28 16:49:06 localhost kernel: usb 2-1.3: reset full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4 May 28 16:49:07 localhost kernel: usb 1-1.2: reset full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4 28 May 16:49:10 ntpdate[27256]: step time server 206.57.44.149 offset -187.783438 sec ... 28 May 16:55:04 ntpdate[27340]: step time server 206.57.44.149 offset -187.782406 sec May 28 16:57:43 localhost kernel: usb 2-1.3: reset full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4 May 28 16:57:43 localhost kernel: usb 1-1.2: reset full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4 28 May 16:57:46 ntpdate[27362]: step time server 206.57.44.149 offset -297.535529 sec ... 28 May 17:01:04 ntpdate[27427]: step time server 206.57.44.149 offset -297.534059 sec May 28 17:03:27 localhost kernel: usb 1-1.2: reset full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4 May 28 17:03:27 localhost kernel: usb 2-1.4.3: reset full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 7 28 May 17:03:30 ntpdate[27453]: step time server 206.57.44.149 offset -409.487201 sec ... are these kernel logs an other effect of the jumps, or are they closely related to the cause? maybe it's also relevant that I am running wmaker and that more or less with the same frequency of these problems (maybe in coincidence?) I have to restart the window manager because the keyboard stops working (but the keys simulating mouse buttons 2 and 3 keep working). -- Package-specific info: ** Version: Linux version
