This bug seems to be the same as reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/297058 To summarise it is a conflict with a power management feature in some BIOS systems.
I have tried the kernel from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc1-lucid/ This kernel is free from this bug. I have tested: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc7-lucid/ This kernel is also free from the bug. I have also tested: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33.1-lucid/ This is effected by the freeze bug. So it seems that from kernel versions 2.6.34 and greater we are free from this bug. I would suggest that it is of extreme importance that this is resolved through an update as soon as possible as it can cause filesystem damage and I have also seen a partition made unrecoverable and a system rendered un-bootable after such an occurrence, it seems to effect more than just this model of netbook. If there is anything more I can test or do please let me know. -- System partial freeze minutes after startup. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600563 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
