I upgraded from linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64 2.6.24-6 -> 2.6.24-7
on Wed, May 21 2008 10:52:20 +0100 (yesterday). But this does not correlate with the increased failure rate: it was running with 2.6.24-6 relatively happily for some time. I just did a test with 2.6.22-6.lenny1. X (xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.2.1-2) failed to start with gdm; symptoms as reported earlier --- black screen and completely unresponsive to ping :-(. I can't see any other recent updates that should have affected this. It really started failing enthusiastically on Tuesday (or at least, that's when I did a clean reinstall of xserver-xorg-*). Vaguely related things I've had since the start of the week: acpid 1.0.6-5.1 -> 1.0.6-6 acpid 1.0.6-6 -> 1.0.6-7 [really frequent failures start] acpid 1.0.6-7 -> 1.0.6-8 gdm 2.20.5-1 -> 2.20.5-2 linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64 2.6.24-6 -> 2.6.24-7 [But why acpid should cause this I don't know?] FWIW I don't have a splash screen and I'm not using the kernel frame buffer. Why is the last thing it does when it crashes to close DRM ? Hope this helps, -- pdm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
