Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-footbridge
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12etch1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
After updating to the kernel version released with DSA-1286-1, the system has
begun to spontaneously reboot. This is a small Netwinder system, which has been
running stable for 3 years now on Debian Sarge.
It also logs this message in the kernel log:
NWFPE: ntpd[1694] takes exception 0001 at c003118c from 0002d644
although this does not trigger the reboot (there is one such entry in
the dmesg output now, and the system is still running). I'm attaching the
dmesg output.
The system runs ntpd, dhcpd, nutups, and the dnscache+tinydns utilities
(not in Debian).
The system gets power through a UPS, so there hasn't been a power outage.
