Package: linux-image-2.6.12-1-powerpc Version: 2.6.12-5 Severity: important
There seems to be a serious bug (might be related to pmu) in 2.6.12. Reports in debian-powerpc mailing list mention that the problem did not exist in previous versions of the kernel (2.6.8/2.6.9) but it is present in 2.6.12 The machine (ibook g4 12") randomly switches off forcing a restart of the system and loosing any data of the open application. Seems to be related to pmu since when powered on the date shows back to 1904 (if i remember right). Today it happened when i unplugged the computer from the power suply and went on battery. I noticed that the framebuffer did not answer to "raise the bright level" (fn-f2) key, and few seconds after it died on me.
