Package: discover Version: 1.5-2 Severity: normal Followup-For: Bug #238472
severity 238472 critical retitle 238472 discover should not load i810-tco module thanks Having the same problems here, ran debian-installer beta 3 and my system would hard reset during the installation proces after around 30-60 seconds. Totally perplexed I managed to limp through the installation process, get a shell script and remove all unecessary modules, then I located this report about i810-tco and discover. Discover should never load the i810-tco module, especially after a debian-installer, run. Loading i810-tco sets up a watchdog timer which will reboot the system if /dev/watchdog is not written to within a certain time (30-60 secs). Refer to the watchdog package for more details. I am raising the severity of the parent bug report to 'critical' as this bug makes the whole system (for those with i8xx hardware) break. Ie it reboots every 30-60 seconds during install, operation. The attached patch will resolve this issue in the short term, but in the longer term discover should be coded to not automatically load watchdog timer modules. --- /etc/discover.conf.orig 2004-03-28 10:56:51.000000000 +1000 +++ /etc/discover.conf 2004-03-28 10:57:01.000000000 +1000 @@ -21,3 +21,4 @@ # Don't ever load the foobar module: #skip foobar +skip i810-tco Mark -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.25-1-386 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages discover depends on: ii dash 0.4.21 The Debian Almquist Shell ii debconf 1.4.16 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdiscover1 1.5-2 hardware identification library -- debconf information: discover/manage_cdrom_devices: true discover/cdrom_base_mountpoint_error: discover/cdrom_base_mountpoint: / -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
