Generating the UTF-8 locales takes a load of memory - it's quite possible that the kernel's OOM-killer[1] killed the sshd process. How much swap do you have configured? Also, there's some sysctl settings to configure the OOM-killer, depending on the kernel. I've got the following lines in my /etc/sysctl.conf and I'm running the arm (not armel) kernel 2.6.24-1 from testing: vm.overcommit_memory=2 vm.overcommit_ratio=80 vm.oom_kill_allocating_task = 1 You can set any of these temporarily for testing by using them as arguments to "sysctl -w" - at least the last setting should prevent your sshd from being killed when locale-gen uses too much RAM. Also, I've run locale-gen successfully with those settings - it takes like half an hour per UTF locale, but at least it completes. Hope this helps.
