Package: libc6 Followup-For: Bug #507845 Hi,
I am experiencing this bug on a Dedibox since its migration to Lenny (on 2009-01-11). The server started to freeze randomly (2009-01-12, 2009-01-26, 2009-01-29) and is freezing once a day without anything in the logs (at the time of the freeze that seems to be pure hardware freeze) the last 4 days (2009-03-01, 2009-03-02, 2009-03-03 and 2009-03-04, the latter on new hardware). I have asked for hardware replacement (yesterday, 2009-03-03), but it still freezed today on the new hardware (same VIA C7 chips used by Dedibox for its first generation Dedibox). Hence the problem shall be triggered by the software... # LANG=C dpkg -l libc6* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries pn libc6-i686 <none> (no description available) un libc6.1 <none> (no description availabl I have removed libc6-i686 only today (after the last freeze) upon Aurélien's suggestion in this bug report (I will see if it changes anything). # uname -vomsr Linux 2.6.26-1-686 #1 SMP Sat Jan 10 18:29:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux The only suspicious thing in the logs are such lines that happen before the freeze (it might be unrelated): In /var/log/messages: Mar 3 23:24:12 metis kernel: [ 70.272030] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -92054101 ns) Mar 3 23:43:17 metis -- MARK -- Mar 4 00:03:17 metis -- MARK -- Mar 4 00:23:17 metis -- MARK -- Mar 4 00:43:17 metis -- MARK -- Mar 4 01:03:17 metis -- MARK -- Mar 4 01:23:17 metis -- MARK -- Mar 4 01:43:17 metis -- MARK -- Mar 4 02:03:17 metis -- MARK -- Mar 4 02:23:17 metis -- MARK -- Mar 4 08:57:12 metis syslogd 1.5.0#5: restart.
