Package: linux-image-2.6-parisc64 Version: 2.6.18+5 Severity: important A bug which affects all parisc kernels since 2.6.18-rc2 affects the debian parisc kernel as well.
Under some random circumstances, SCSI devices (such as the root disk) will get offlined, rendering the box totally unuseable: sd 1:0:5:0: rejecting I/O to offline device EXT3-fs error (device sda3): ext3_find_entry: reading directory #1175041 offset 0 sd 1:0:5:0: rejecting I/O to offline device sd 1:0:5:0: rejecting I/O to offline device sd 1:0:5:0: rejecting I/O to offline device I can't paste the initial messages from the kernel bug since they were out of dmesg at this point, but this is a known bug already reported on parisc-linux mailing lists, see eg this thread: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2007-January/031078.html So far this bug has been isolated on 64bit SMP machines. I can't tell for sure whether 32bit and/or UP are safe.
