Package: linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae Version: 3.2.39-2 Severity: important
-- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Over this past weekend I upgraded my Wheezy system. Among those packages upgraded was the kernel -- from version 3.2.35-2 to 3.2.39-2. Almost immediately it became unstable. First, after just a few minutes in graphical mode, the screen would become completely corrupted and the system would freeze, requiring a power cycle hard reboot. Later, it sometimes would just spontaneously reboot. Sometimes this would happen after just a few minutes, more often than not, immediately after logging in. I have tried different video drivers and different GUI's. The only thing that helped was to swap out monitors, from a new one with a resolution of 1920x108 to an older one with a resolution of 1280x1024. This happened on two different systems, one a year or so old and the other brand new. I finally was able to fix the problem by downgrading to the next older kernel, version 3.2.35-2. The video chipset is Intel Sandybrook, but the problem occurred whether using the intel driver or the fbdev driver. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
