I have upgraded the severity of this issue as it's causing massive system instability and potential data loss.
Some further details of the problem: * When the freeze occurs the mouse pointer is still movable. However, the interface is non-responsive. It will accept neither mouse nor keyboard input. * ~50% of the time I am able to switch to a virtual terminal and either restart gnome-shell or at least safely restart the system. I always lose the data I'm working on in this case * When I am unable to switch to a tty, I am forced to REISUB. While this emergency shutdown has been successful in restarting the system without a hard power-off, it has caused my RAID set to go dirty and trigger a rebuild. I've got my main data-store in a truecrypt volume mounted on a RAID-5 set. When my system freezes, the truecrypt volume does not have an opportunity to unmount safely. * I have tested the 304.64-2 driver from unstable and experienced the exact same behavior of freezing. I also built a vanilla 3.4.24 kernel from upstream with only the Wheezy config options and tested this using the Wheezy 304.48-1 driver. The results were the same and I encountered the hard lockup requiring REISUB. Please let me know what other information I can provide to help resolve this issue. Currently this compromises the stability of Wheezy as a platform. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
