could you please test 2.6.31-rc6 and if it is still crashy write a bug report with the crash info also duplicate it on bugzilla.kernel.org with dmesg and lspci -vv output. > CONFIG_X86_PAT=y > > Furthermore, the kernel help says, > > config X86_PAT > bool > prompt "x86 PAT support" > depends on MTRR > ---help--- > Use PAT attributes to setup page level cache control. > > PATs are the modern equivalents of MTRRs and are much more > flexible than MTRRs. > > Say N here if you see bootup problems (boot crash, boot hang, > spontaneous reboots) or a non-working video driver. > > If unsure, say Y. > > > The problematic package is linux-image-2.6.30-1-686 on the testing branch > 'squeeze'. the aboves helptext is quite old, an easy and quick workaround is to boot with the "nopat" bootparam, but for the 2.6.31-rc6 test please boot without this. thanks -- maks ps no need to cc all of us personaly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
