I still have this problem. I have hardlocks from the ath5k driver using 2.6.27-5-generic. Sometimes it's a soft lockup, and the card "only" stops working...and other times, the card hardlocks my machine, and no output is salvageable. SysRq does not function, and /var/log/syslog noted nothing.
Tragically, this laptop has no serial port with which to dump debug information when this occurs. Any other thoughts on how to salvage the information? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => New -- ath5k driver causes Ubuntu to freeze https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261142 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
