@Joseph: I don't recall which 3.6 kernel - it's a fairly recent install on a test laptop. I have the following installed:
$ dpkg -l | grep linux-image ii linux-image-3.16.0-32-generic 3.16.0-32.42 i386 Linux kernel image for version 3.16.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-3.16.0-33-generic 3.16.0-33.44 i386 Linux kernel image for version 3.16.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-3.19.0-031900-generic 3.19.0-031900.201502091451 i386 Linux kernel image for version 3.19.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-3.19.1-031901-generic 3.19.1-031901.201503080052 i386 Linux kernel image for version 3.19.1 on 32 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-4.0.0-040000rc3-generic 4.0.0-040000rc3.201503082035 i386 Linux kernel image for version 4.0.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-extra-3.16.0-32-generic 3.16.0-32.42 i386 Linux kernel extra modules for version 3.16.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-extra-3.16.0-33-generic 3.16.0-33.44 i386 Linux kernel extra modules for version 3.16.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP ii linux-image-generic 3.16.0.33.34 i386 Generic Linux kernel image It's a fully encrypted 14.10 and for some reason the /boot is only about 236MB so I have to keep removing older image & headers, otherwise I'd have more. If you give me the links I can try the 3.16's older than 3.16.0-32 & see if I can narrow it down. BTW: 3.19.1 does not have the issue, but it does have other issues instead: [ 101.622829] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2401 at /home/kernel/COD/linux/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_irq.c:1121 drm_wait_one_vblank+0x177/0x180 [drm]() [ 101.622832] vblank not available on crtc 1, ret=-22 [ 101.622833] Modules linked in: pci_stub vboxpci(OE) vboxnetadp(OE) vboxnetflt(OE) vboxdrv(OE) nfnetlink_queue nfnetlink_log nfnetlink vmw_vsock_vmci_transport vsock vmw_vmci snd_atiixp_modem snd_via82xx_modem snd_intel8x0m snd_ac97_codec ac97_bus ctr ccm snd_hda_codec_hdmi snd_hda_codec_conexant ip6t_REJECT nf_reject_ipv6 snd_hda_codec_generic snd_hda_intel xt_hl dm_crypt ip6t_rt nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv6 ipt_REJECT nf_reject_ipv4 xt_limit xt_tcpudp arc4 xt_addrtype nf_conntrack_ipv4 snd_hda_controller nf_defrag_ipv4 iwldvm xt_conntrack ip6table_filter ip6_tables nf_conntrack_netbios_ns nf_conntrack_broadcast nf_nat_ftp nf_nat nf_conntrack_ftp uvcvideo snd_hda_codec mac80211 nf_conntrack iptable_filter ip_tables hp_wmi gpio_ich x_tables sparse_keymap videobuf2_vmalloc snd_hwdep snd_pcm videobuf2_memops snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event snd_rawmidi iwlwifi snd_seq videobuf2_core snd_seq_device snd_timer hid_logitech_hidpp v4l2_common cfg80211 snd videodev media coretemp soundc ore joydev serio_raw parport_pc lpc_ich ppdev shpchp lp parport mac_hid binfmt_misc uas usb_storage hid_logitech_dj usbhid hid psmouse ahci libahci i915 r8169 mii i2c_algo_bit video drm_kms_helper wmi drm [ 101.622904] CPU: 0 PID: 2401 Comm: Xorg Tainted: G W OE 3.19.1-031901-generic #201503080052 [ 101.622905] Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP G60 Notebook PC/3612, BIOS F.53 09/11/2009 [ 101.622907] 0000000000000461 ffff880099917828 ffffffff817c5d9e 0000000000000007 [ 101.622911] ffff880099917878 ffff880099917868 ffffffff81076e17 ffff880035dc0000 [ 101.622914] 0000000000000001 ffff88003636b000 ffff880035dc0000 0000000000000001 [ 101.622917] Call Trace: [ 101.622924] [<ffffffff817c5d9e>] dump_stack+0x45/0x57 [ 101.622930] [<ffffffff81076e17>] warn_slowpath_common+0x97/0xe0 [ 101.622933] [<ffffffff81076f16>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [ 101.622948] [<ffffffffc0279c67>] drm_wait_one_vblank+0x177/0x180 [drm] [ 101.622989] [<ffffffffc03dd82e>] intel_enable_tv+0x2e/0x70 [i915] [ 101.623015] [<ffffffffc03abcc6>] i9xx_crtc_enable+0x1e6/0x240 [i915] [ 101.623042] [<ffffffffc03aafa0>] __intel_set_mode+0x420/0x5c0 [i915] [ 101.623069] [<ffffffffc03adb52>] intel_set_mode+0x72/0xe0 [i915] [ 101.623096] [<ffffffffc03ade8d>] intel_get_load_detect_pipe+0x1dd/0x400 [i915] [ 101.623124] [<ffffffffc03de52d>] intel_tv_detect+0x13d/0x280 [i915] [ 101.623137] [<ffffffffc02f3a0b>] drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes_merge_bits+0x1fb/0x440 [drm_kms_helper] [ 101.623155] [<ffffffffc0281292>] ? _object_find+0xa2/0xd0 [drm] [ 101.623164] [<ffffffffc02f3c83>] drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes+0x13/0x20 [drm_kms_helper] [ 101.623181] [<ffffffffc02869ec>] drm_mode_getconnector+0x46c/0x4c0 [drm] [ 101.623195] [<ffffffffc0277e76>] drm_ioctl+0x2e6/0x590 [drm] [ 101.623213] [<ffffffffc0286580>] ? drm_mode_getcrtc+0x100/0x100 [drm] [ 101.623218] [<ffffffff8108301f>] ? recalc_sigpending+0x1f/0x60 [ 101.623222] [<ffffffff81207cb5>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x75/0x320 [ 101.623225] [<ffffffff81087458>] ? restore_altstack+0x18/0x30 [ 101.623230] [<ffffffff81212005>] ? __fget_light+0x25/0x70 [ 101.623233] [<ffffffff81207ff1>] SyS_ioctl+0x91/0xb0 [ 101.623237] [<ffffffff817d28ad>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 101.623239] ---[ end trace 2cd7b8dc57ef2c4a ]--- [ 101.623276] [drm:i9xx_check_fifo_underruns [i915]] *ERROR* pipe A underrun [ 105.530910] ------------[ cut here ]------------ 4.0 (4.0.0-040000rc3-generic #201503082035 SMP Mon Mar 9 01:50:36 UTC 2015 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux) seems to be the cleanest (for me) but I have lockup issues when it tries to read the encrypted swap.
