[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#710959: System intermittently hangs

[Thomas Schweikle]

Package: base
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

-- System Information:
Debian Release: jessie/sid
  APT prefers unstable
  APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable')
Architecture: kfreebsd-amd64 (x86_64)

Kernel: kFreeBSD 8.3-1-amd64
Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash

How to reproduce:
- Install Debian kfreebsd-amd64 into a VM (VMware, VirtualBox, KVM)
- Upgrade to "unstable"
- Restart the system

The system will boot as expected, but logging in using ssh or directly on
console you will notice your keypresses not shown immediately. After some
time they will show up, again not showing, then showing again. None of the
keys you typed ist lost, but you are forced to wait for some seconds until
the system reacts on any of them.

Unsure if this is something with screen output, interrupts, or kernel
related. Since I see it with any available kernel (kfreebsd-image-8.3-1,
kfreebsd-image-9.0-2) I suppose it to be some I/O-problem. I do not see it
with "stable"- or "testing"-releases.
