No.

No, only if some earlier version did *not* have the bug.

"2.6.35" is better.

'Tree' is for distinguishing development branches.

'Regression' flags whether this bug is newly introduced and did not
exist in an older version.

You actually set product to 'Other'.  Please reassign it if you can.  (I
don't have permission to reassign bugs there but you as submitter may be
able to.)

OK, then please report this upstream at 
under product 'ACPI', component 'EC'.  Let us know the bug number or URL
so we can track it.

You would also need the newer version of linux-base from experimental,
but that is currently no different from the version in lenny-backports.

If I remember correctly, this makes one CPU feature (big pages)
unreliable, but the kernel automaticallly avoids using that feature.

Anything like this?

Can you test Linux 2.6.35 from experimental?

Hi,

 Thank you for replying so quickly. First of all, things are beginning to 
look a little
different as I am gaining more experience with the problem. Yesterday and the 
day before
it occurred in the midst of normal user activity exactly one hour after booting 
up and
logging in via GDM. Today the battery charge LED went on briefly without 
causing a
problem.

When the problem occurs, /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/messages show no (new) 
messages.

There is a message that appears upon boot and resume, not at the same time as 
the problem:

Atom PSE erratum detected, BIOS microcode update recommended

My so-called netbook does not show any brand name. On the back it says "N270 
mini02" and
"Made in China." There is also a tiny sticker with two very long numbers --- 
would they be
any help?

Do any messages appear in the kernel log when this happens?

What model of computer are you using?

Bug#596801: linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.5-686: keyboard & touchpad io breaks when netbook LED switches on or off

2010-09-14 Thread Axel K. Stammler 
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-20~bpo50+1
Severity: important

There are 4 LEDs on the left side below the keyboard, 3 of which I can control 
so they don't switch on or off: wifi (WLAN), caps lock, num lock. The fourth 
one lights up when the battery 
is being charged and is switched off when the charge is complete.

When an LED lights up or is switched off, all keyboard and touchpad input, 
including the separate power button above the keyboard) becomes impossible. 
Everything else is unaffected, so 
the system can be shut down via ssh, bash and halt. But at the end of the 
shutdown process it will not power off, the power LED at the power button 
remains lit and the other LEDs stay as 
they were. The computer still will not react to any input. The only way to 
restart it is to remove both power sources: the mains transformer as well as 
the battery. When power is resored, 
the computer will boot if the power button is pressed, but the wifi (WLAN) LED 
will be off even though it usually comes back on if it was on on shutdown. The 
num lock and caps lock LEDs 
will light up erratically a few times, then the system will boot normally. (So 
it is advisable to turn the wifi LED on immediatly, so input won't be broken 
again.)

It seems that the kernel's reaction to an LED state change causes the input 
circuits to freeze, possibly by giving them some kind of wrong order.

There is a tendency for this to happen more markedly when someone is logged in 
(gdm), but it (obviously) affects the command lines ( to ) as well as 
they become inaccessible.
