Public bug reported:
At first I thought this was a Firefox specific bug, because when
downloading a large file my inspiron 13 froze up, kernal and all,
leaving the display as it was but both the caps lock and scroll lock
LED's flashing once a second, and the wifi LED each half second. I
would reboot, open firefox and resume the download and after a minuet or
so it would lock up again.
This same lockup has just repeated itself while updating 8.10 64 bit
from a scratch install, (223 updates).
This same thing happened on the same laptop using the 32 bit ver. of
intrepid, however has not presented itself on my desktop runing the same
kernel and downloading the same 223 updates.
the only way to re-gain control is to do a hard shutdown and reboot the
system, where as everything is fine.
Marked time in system log and re-downloading updates to see what it has
to say.
