Package: hal Version: 0.5.14-3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
The polling mechanism used by hald-addon-storage sometimes makes the system unresponsive. In fact, the kernel seems to be in a working state, but none of the user processes get any resources when this issue happens. While encountering the issue, the following symptoms are noticable: - the system responds to ICMP echo requests and TCP-connections can be made successfuly - the TCP/IP stack seems to be working - running processes don't get any CPU time - the crash dump generated by the kernel is never logged, it can only be seen on screen - typing or switching between VTs isn't working. The only thing that can be done when the issue happens is rebooting the machine by using SysR commands or by pressing the reboot button Disabling polling for the optical drive seems to workaround the issue, but isn't really a fix for it. Please see the screenshot attached to view the crash dump. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=hu_HU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.2.24-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal-info 20091130-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - fdi f ii libblkid1 2.17.2-9 block device id library ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.88-2.1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal-storage1 0.5.14-3 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal1 0.5.14-3 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-16 userspace USB programming library ii lsb-base 3.2-23.2squeeze1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mount 2.17.2-9 Tools for mounting and manipulatin ii pciutils 1:3.1.7-6 Linux PCI Utilities ii udev 164-3 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii usbutils 0.87-5 Linux USB utilities Versions of packages hal recommends: ii consolekit 0.4.1-4 framework for defining and trackin ii eject 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-7.1 ejects CDs and operates CD-Changer ii pm-utils 1.3.0-3 utilities and scripts for power ma Versions of packages hal suggests: pn gnome-device-manager <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
