I am not a skilled Debian admin. So i need instructions for any Debian specific action you want me to perform. Following the advise of the maintainer of my upstream packages in Debian i checked /etc/apt/sources.list and performed apt-get update, apt-get upgrade. But after reboot uname -a still says 2.6.32-5. The date has changed, though: Linux debian2 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Oct 3 03:59:20 UTC 2011 x86_64 The previous one was Linux debian2 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 14 09:42:28 UTC 2011 x86_64 Some messages from that upgrade attempt are listed below. I can still reproduce the kernel Oops by having a file descriptor open, switching off the USB drive, and then trying to use the file descriptor with ioctl(SG_IO).
