This problem was probably not caused by libc6, but by either dm-crypt or xfs (or the combination of them). I noticed that after reboots various random files (most notably in /lib and /usr/lib) were corrupted, which also must have caused what I described above. Disabling the hard disk write cache didn't help.
The produced core dumps had 0 bytes. I have since then reinstalled my system using dm-crypt+lvm2+ext3 instead of dm-crypt+xfs and it didn't occur again. Also I switched from i386 to amd64, but don't think that this made the difference. -- system hangs on boot with libc6 2.5-10ubuntu1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119110 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
