Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-29
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
The system randomly (say, 2 times every 3 boots) shows General Protection Fault
errors at boot time. I don't get to multiuser init levels.
When those errors occur, I can't do anything, the system seems unresponsive.
When I press NumLock, the system shows a message like
BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0x10100
And then hangs up completely.
The info displayed in the logs, however, change from time to time.
I did a memtest, and the RAM is OK.
Reverting to 2.6.32-3-amd64 fixed the problem.
-- Package-specific info:
** Kernel log: boot messages should be attached
I can't get the exact error messages, as the system can't boot and I don't have
a digital camera at hand. I found in /var/log/syslog.0 a similar trace, but I
don't know if it's the same problem. Here it is:
