I didn't reply to this yet, did I? I'm seeing the situation change after updates that do not change the kernel. for a short while the bug disappeared, then reappeared and I am not aware of a permanent packages update log to match my logs on reboots and time jumps. I always use aptitude to update and safe or dist upgrade.
in the last 4 days before the last reboot two days ago, I had no time jumps (06:00:00 occurs 1 day 0:00 after the preceding 06:00:00) even with loads above 6 (a runaway process I failed to notice!). in the previous periods I had the impression that more importand jumps happened when system load increased. here it was constantly high. here is the tail of the logfile: 2.6.32-trunk-powerpc 2010-05-05 06:00:02 up 9 days, 5:07, 2 users, load average: 5.00, 5.14, 5.17 2.6.32-trunk-powerpc 2010-05-06 06:00:01 up 10 days, 5:19, 3 users, load average: 5.03, 5.28, 5.22 2.6.32-trunk-powerpc 2010-05-07 06:00:01 up 11 days, 5:38, 4 users, load average: 5.08, 5.31, 5.76 2.6.32-trunk-powerpc 2010-05-08 06:00:02 up 12 days, 5:55, 3 users, load average: 6.15, 6.39, 6.26 2.6.32-trunk-powerpc 2010-05-09 06:00:01 up 13 days, 5:55, 3 users, load average: 6.48, 6.40, 6.24 2.6.32-trunk-powerpc 2010-05-10 06:00:02 up 14 days, 5:55, 1 user, load average: 6.87, 6.26, 6.17 2.6.32-trunk-powerpc 2010-05-11 06:00:01 up 15 days, 5:55, 3 users, load average: 6.13, 6.13, 6.17 2.6.32-trunk-powerpc 2010-05-12 03:16:55 REBOOT 2.6.32-trunk-powerpc 2010-05-12 06:00:01 up 2:44, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.06, 0.13 2.6.32-trunk-powerpc 2010-05-13 06:00:01 up 1 day, 2:49, 1 user, load average: 0.03, 0.29, 0.22 the logfile is produced by this crontab line: 0 6 * * * echo `uname -r` `date +\%Y-\%m-\%d` `uptime` >> /home/mario/uptime.log On 2010-0204 02:10:37, maximilian attems wrote: > what about the latest 2.6.32 that is in unstable aka 2.6.32-6 > could you test against it? > > thanks for the report. > > -- > maks -- Windows NT encountered the following error: The operation completed successfully. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
