Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-amd64 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch2 Severity: critical Tags: patch Justification: breaks the whole system
The problem only happened to me once, and before my last upgrade (with version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12), but the changelog does not seem to indicate that this problem was solved, so I'm opening the bug report anyways. The machine is running two SATA disks with Raid-1 and LVM. This seems to be relevant to some of the internet discussions I found, though not all of them. I was connected to the machine over SSH (a remote machine) when I got the following messages: Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Tue Jul 17 22:10:04 2007 ... fiasco kernel: Oops: 0002 [1] SMP Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at Tue Jul 17 22:10:04 2007 ... fiasco kernel: CR2: 0000000000100108 After that, no user space program would interact with me, but pings still worked. The machine was rebooted by the hosting company, and now seem to be functioning again. Searching the internet I found two discussions that may be relevant. One is http://lists.openwall.net/linux-kernel/2006/11/04/69, which includes a patch, and the other is http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/4/196. Since the machine has been up for almost a year before this problem happened, and from the version numbers and frequencies mentioned by Linus, I believe that the first link contains the solution to this problem.
