Package: acpi
Version: > 0.09-1
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss
Hi,
I had my machine who was hanging without any reason. I checked the log:
nothing unusual before hang up excepot some fancy errors about voltage
(-5V is not monitored by the hardware but was between -6.7 and -6.0 in
the soft monitor (sane interval is -6.0--4.0) . I suspected a hardware
problem : I put the disks in a PII/III box and it was running OK (but
slowly indeed) . I ran a freeBSD on the athlon box and it ran OK, no
hang up.
I changed the alimentation : same hangup :-(
I then changed the mobo, as i had sometime litle problems with ide
detect and so. It is
a slightly different motherboard (old one was an asus, new one is an
msi) but hangs up still happenned.
I then reinstall the system, using same unsane practice (experimentaal
and unstable system packages and so...) and it hanged up again.
I reinstalled the system again, keeping carefully stable kernel and
testing system, it worked fine then when I updated acpi* due to a new
version in testing the system hanged up again...
I cannot be sure that acpi is guilty but it is a good candidate.
Hang up : the screen is frozen on its state (any of X display, virtual
console. The machine is no longer present on the network, the keyboard
does not replys disk access stay on the same state, soft off does not
work...

I'm tempted to say this is impossible because acpi is only a small (12K)
client tool that reads some data from /proc and displays it. Not more. I
cannot see a way how this tool can freeze a system.
Did you change your kernel at the same time?
For now I just close this bug report. Feel free to reopen and reassign
or re-report against a package that might be the reason of your problem.
