I am running a T500 also and having some similar problems, although the disks are fine. I am getting random freezes, and already have had one corrupted installation which refused to boot and had to be redone (always back up your data!). I have done RAM tests and they were without fault. I am running Ubuntu 64bit 9.04.
I'm not getting panicked shut-downs, however. The problems I am seeing are with firefox/flash (they freeze, and until I re-installed the latest flash-nonfree, they caused a keyboard/mouse freeze and then a total lockup). With javascript and flash I also am finding random wireless network failures - I lose my connection and a new connection is renegotiated by the wifi card. The problem as I see it is that rogue programs (adobe flash is the worst offender) which take up 100% of one of the processors are not caught out and all resources get squeezed - it's usually impossible to catch the program and close it in time (and frankly, one should never have to!). The freezes vary from regular lockups, to some kind of crash state where the caps-lock light flashes. I've never experienced this kind of instability with Ubuntu before. -- Disk corruption and complete freezes. :( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381327 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
