Subject: kernel-image-2.6.8-4-686: freeze due to a kjournald oops
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-4-686
Version: 2.6.8-16sarge7
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss
*** Please type your report below this line ***
-- System Information:
Debian Release: 4.0
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-4-686
Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1)
Versions of packages kernel-image-2.6.8-4-686 depends on:
ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities
ii initrd-tools 0.1.81.1 tools to create initrd image
for p
ii module-init-tools 3.2-pre1-2 tools for managing Linux kernel
mo
-- no debconf information
Since about 2 months, the host freezes quite often (sometimes 3 times a day)
but I don't know how to produce the bug. Sometimes it freezes idle,
sometimes on charge.
The problem appears also with the version 2.6.8-3-686.
The host is a server dedicated to mail service. Only debian stable packages
are installed. I do package update regularly (each week). Nohting seems
really special, just notice that apart from SWAP partition it uses EXT3
partititions (RAID array based on 2 IDE HD).
Here is :
* last oops occurrence details (extract of /var/log/kern.log)
* cpu info (/proc/cpuinfo)
* PCI list (lspci -vn)
# cat /var/log/kern.log
