[Bug 291359] Re: Upgrade to Intrepid: kernel crash because of locales

[Moritz]

Ok, I have some news:

1. I finally checked my BIOS revision and -- sigh! --- updated it to the latest version (N4D623-3)
    This is best done with WinFlash (awdflash under syslinux and freedos did not work properly)

2. Afterwards I cleared CMOS and loaded optimized defaults.

3. I have gathered the recent update of libglibc.

The command: sudo strace locale-gen worked as you can see below:

rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [CHLD], 8) = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [CHLD], NULL, 8) = 0

rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {0x442510, [], SA_RESTORER, 0x7efff92b6af0}, {SIG_DFL, [], SA_RESTORER, 0x7efff92b6af0}, 8) = 0
