I was testing Feisty beta and I discovered that eAccelerator was not reliable running under PHP 5.2.1. Eventually I located an existing bug report with the eAccelerator tracker that resolved my problem completely.
I agree it would be great to have more pre-built PHP packages. On an old CentOS I had eAccelerator packaged and it greatly added to my convenience. However, if eAccelerator is built for Feisty, it needs to include the patch above. The stock 0.9.5 release is not workable with PHP 5.2.1. Note in my own comments on the ticket above I dug into this problem in some depth and found later confirmation of the issue in other blog reports.
On Edgy, I was able to use an eAccelerator deb from Andrew at LinuxJedi, which is now compiled to be compatible with MediaWiki.
