Subject: linux-image-2.6.22-3-686: locks up or crashes, errors in tg3, psmouse and usb (2.6.22-2 worked fine) Package: linux-image-2.6.22-3-686 Version: 2.6.22-6 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
*** Please type your report below this line *** Upgrading from kernel 2.6.22-2 to 2.6.22-3 caused my machine to become very unstable, with random failures of the network interface (causing it to disconnect from the network and then reconnect later), temporary or permanent freezes of the display, and eventually some kernel panics. These failures occured at random intervals going from a few minutes to about one hour in the best case. This machine has been running fine for the last few years with most of the 2.6 kernels that entered Debian testing: 2.6.12-1, 2.6.15-1, 2.6.16-2, 2.6.17-2, 2.6.18-3, 2.6.18-4, 2.6.21-2, 2.6.22-2. The version 2.6.22-3 that entered testing yesterday is the first one that causes such problems leading to sudden crashes and data loss. At first I blamed it on the upgrade of the proprietary fglrx kernel module that was also upgraded at the same time (proprietary modules are evil and always suspicious), but I rebooted several times without the module and the system kept on crashing. It is only after rebooting with the older kernel 2.6.22-2 that the problems stopped. I could even rebuild and reload the newer fglrx module for the old kernel and everything is still working fine. But as soon as I reboot with the 2.6.22-3 kernel, the random freezes and crashes start again. Here are some excerpts from /var/log/messages showing the problems that occur with various devices, until there is eventually a kernel panic (for which I have no message): Dec 4 17:13:31 bora-bora -- MARK -- Dec 4 17:33:31 bora-bora -- MARK -- Dec 4 17:53:31 bora-bora -- MARK -- Dec 4 18:11:32 bora-bora kernel: tg3: eth0: Link is down.

All messages shown here were usually followed by a kernel panic a few minutes later. I am now using the older kernel version 2.6.22-2 and everything works fine again.
