[Bug 40282] scp transfer couses system to freeze

[Charles Majola]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-meta linux-image-2.6-386 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Critical
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
I have just installed Dapper Beta on a HP 6120 with PV HT 3.0 GHz. When
I try to copy a file from our server the entire system freezes and
nothing responds, the only way to use it again is to press the reset
button. This happens on both -386 and -686 kernels and this is a fresh
install. I tried debugging methods, there doesn't seem to be any kernel
oops or anything.

The command used :
#> sudo scp charles at 10.0.0.2:/home/backup/data-files.tar.gz . 

as soon as this runs, the system freezes.

I'll be happy to help debug this

** Changed in: linux-meta linux-image-2.6-386 (Ubuntu)
     Severity: Normal => Critical
