Hello,

I'm running debian squeeze with experimental packages.

(none):~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb  http://http.us.debian.org/debian    squeeze         main contrib non-free
deb  http://security.debian.org          squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
deb  http://http.us.debian.org/debian    experimental    main contrib non-free

Servers is in Amazon EC2, m1.small.

I keep getting this messages in syslog:

10345), cs:ip 73:005ea375

Can anybody tell me what to-do to get rid of this annoying messages?

Are you running Xen? There is a reference to that error at Debian's wiki:

As i sad this is on Amazon EC2, so yes it's in Xen.
I have that applied but it doesn't fix it, even after reboot.

Any other suggestions?

Dunno what kind of beast is that O:-)

Nope, sorry. Let's see if someone has any other ideas.

Even updating to libc6-xen 2.11-0exp4 didn't help.

apt-get install libc6=2.11-0exp4 libc-bin=2.11-0exp4 \

experimental is unsupported on this list.

That isn't true, though there may be few (if any) other people here
using any given package therefrom.

Where is that stated?

The only policy about this list I have found are 1.) English language and
2.) the implied general topic of using debian.

For completeness, I think there is also a rule deprecating top posting 0:-)

Actually, there are a number of rules included in the code of conduct,
not just the two mentioned by Freeman, but the deprecation of
top-posting is not one of them.  That's just a (strong) preference of
many on the list (including this author), and a general convention
adhered to by many participants in mailing lists, especially *nix /
technical ones.

Outstanding.

The last item might be setting the bar discouragingly high though:

"Use common sense all the time."

It is sort of paramount to saying, "alright, everyone out of the pool!"

Maybe a bug report:  replace it with "Don't top your posts."

I note the item admonishing *never* to post in html. The abundance of
confusing html quotes, which I refuse to sort through, have been discussed here.

Consider it aspirational.  As Robert Browning says:

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what's a heaven for?

This is perhaps the most annoying problem in using xen and debian, since
theres no really good and working fix for it. I have a bunch of machines
where it keeps coming back from time to time.

Although, following this steps usually makes it stop, at least on lenny,
might be worth a show even for experimental:

* First, make sure libc6-xen is installed: apt-get install libc6-xen
* If /lib/tls exists on your system (it didn't on mine): mv /lib/tls
/lib/tls.disabled
* echo 'hwcap 0 nosegneg' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc6-xen.conf && ldconfig
* Reboot your domU

Seems the second one is the one you havent tried, so hope for that one. :)

Good luck,
