The laptop (Samsung NC110) which had this problem no longer has it, for no obvious reason. The
kernel is unchanged.
The one difference is that I was trying to boot a Knoppix installation from USB stick to see if it
also had the usb problem and when the laptop couldn't see the device, I
If you came here through an Internet search and are having similar problems, upgrading my kernel to
a custom-compiled 3.5.0 seems to have fixed iwlwifi, provided the module has the following options:
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 wd_disable=1 swcrypto=1 power_save=0
5ghz_disable=1

And did you plug in a new HID device?
Yes. Just to be clear, nothing untoward happens with usbhid.ko simply loaded, e.g directly via
modprobe or automagically when a device is plugged in. But the first event, be it a mouse movement
or a keystroke, causes particular applications to crash. I've
After building a kernel with X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION enabled, I set it to scan (almost) as
advised. No corruption of the low memory was reported after running some hours either with or
without usbhid loaded.

When I plug in a USB mouse (or keyboard, but I don't normally do that) into
this laptop, the first event -- mouse movement -- causes some applications to

Is that a standard (non-realtime) kernel? If not, can you also test a
standard kernel configuration (linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64)?
Identical behaviour on linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64
Please try booting with the extra kernel parameters:
memory_corruption_check=1
I copied /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions from a machine which had not been updated and
this allowed update-initramfs to build a new, bootable ramdisk.
Note For Googlers: I believe that the closed bug 659948 is a duplicate of this one, and it suggests
ln -s / /rootfs as a workaround.
Replacing the ath5k driver code with the updated code from Linux 3.4-rc1 fixes
this problem for me.
(Specifically drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ath5k.h, base.c and phy.c - nothing else changed from
3.3.0)

I have just compiled a custom 3.3.0 kernel for an Acer netbook, previously running 3.0.0, and see
the same problem as reported by Hans. In my case, after 36 hours of uptime with the new kernel, the
ath5k began to report constant gain calibration timeout errors and connectivity was lost.
I can confirm the same behaviour on the same hardware with kernel
3.0.0-1-686-pae from unstable.
(In the workaround situation of booting with a card in the right-hand slot, everything works as
expected: both cards can be inserted and ejected and generate the expected udev events.
