{snip /} with a gpu lockup mixed in... [ 6100.827158] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon [ 6100.827158] [<ffffffff81b689c3>] do_IRQ+0x73/0xf0 [ 6100.827158] [<ffffffff81b682d3>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0xf [ 6100.827158] [<ffffffff81b62d48>] printk+0x41/0x43 [ 6100.827158] [<ffffffff81618fd3>] nouveau_channel_alloc+0x703/0x7a0 {snip /} The chipset is an NV50, so I've been putting up with occasional lockups anyways, but with v2.6.36-rc and above, they've become much more common (minutes vs. hours). I can't tell for sure if they are the same kind of lockup. I rebuilt my kernel with lockdep to try finding something useful. One other note: this gpu lockup leaves the cursor functional for a short time, during which I can use sysrq to blindly sync my drives and reboot. If I wait, the cursor locks up too, and sysrq ceases to work. I willing to take debug patches if anyone has any ideas.
