I've tested 3.8.0-31-generic (linux-image-3.8.0-31-generic = 3.8.0-31.46~precise1). To the admins: when asking us to test "the latest in -proposed", please tell us which package and which version. It makes it easier to interpret the record in the future, when the "latest in proposed" may be different (or when your proposed solution has been removed / replaced)
I'm using the following test now: echo '4096 * 4096' | bc -l > /sys/block/zram0/disksize mkfs.ext2 /dev/zram0 And I get this with dmesg -T: [Sun Sep 22 23:05:40 2013] Buffer I/O error on device zram0, logical block 4095 [Sun Sep 22 23:05:40 2013] lost page write due to I/O error on zram0 [Sun Sep 22 23:05:40 2013] Buffer I/O error on device zram0, logical block 4095 I don't think this is a good kernel. In the terminology of https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/13/22, both [1] and [2] should be in the kernel, so that both bug A and bug B are fixed. I'll check how to find the changelog for a kernel and whether the other -proposed (3.2, 3.5) kernels also have the same problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1215513 Title: System locks up, requires hard reset Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “linux” source package in Quantal: Fix Committed Status in “linux” source package in Raring: Fix Committed Status in “linux” source package in Saucy: Fix Released Bug description: Since I started using 3.8.0-29 I experienced system lock ups at random times. First one was while running Virtualbox (windows guest) but later have been without virtualbox running for example while shutting down or while reading a webpage. I could not find any relevant log, but I'd post any log file considered useful. This has hapened in 2 different machines (the one im reporting from is intel with intel graphics and the other is AMD with radeon graphics). Both 64 bits. Up until 3.8.0-27 inclusive I had not had a lockup in years in any of those machines. I have been running Ubuntu 64 bit since at least 2008 in one of them.
