[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#492299: base: Thinkpad T61 locks up

[Terry Bullett]

Package: base
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


On or about 20July08, some update of lenny has caused my Thinkpad T61
to lock up frequently.  The cause may be related to wireless ethernet,
as being in places where there are no wireless signals causes the
machine to stay up longer.  

The only symptom other than complete system lockup, is a flashing 
Caps Lock indicator.

Once the screen was in a TTY mode when it crashed, and a kernel panic
was indicated.
