I still use this notebook and reinstalled Lucid, coming from Hardy. I once used to test an in between version with a live cd after enabling hyperthreading in the bios and I let it run the whole night. In the morning there wasn't a freeze, so I assumed it was fixed. After the installation of Lucid, when I was copying back my homedir, I had my first freeze again. So now I just disabled hyperthreading again. I'm going to try some tips from above again to see if they work now if I don't have any other problems anymore.
One of the other problems is that I had a couple of times the same kind of freeze when installing software using the Ubuntu Software Centre, when HT is disabled! No problems with apt-get. Never had it in Hardy when HT was disabled. When booting, I have to press enter a couple of times, or otherwise the screen stays the same (black with blinking _ or the ubuntu splash screen). Same thing with shutting down. However, both have succeeded without pressing any key, but most of the time I must press a key a couple of times and then it continues to start up or shut down. Today I waited an hour and then it even wouldn't start up. I had to press the power key. I tried Mint first, but I had more problems there. Everything wasn't snappy anymore. E.g. the turning cube was still fast, but for me it seems it had missing frames. Ubuntu works fine, but when playing a video file now, it is missing frames. It has been fine after install, but now it isn't. In short: the bug is still there but there are more compared to Hardy. -- Kernel instabilty on Medion MD41300 with Hyperthreading enabled / Mobile Pentium 4 HT 3.06Ghz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67110 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
