Alan - Are you able and willing to build your own kernel? Risks are more or less the same as for installing a development kernel, but it takes a bit of time to compile. If you don't want to build a kernel, but are willing to trust me enough to test one I built, I'll post a generic build here later.
If you can't reproduce the bug with the kernel made with these steps, it means we suffer from the same thing. Maverick git repository: If so, can you please follow the instructions here for installing the tools: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile#Tools you'll need (steps are the same as for Lucid). then, in the terminal, make a directory and download repository from git (warning: it's few hundred megabytes), e.g. mkdir kernel-custom cd kernel-custom git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-maverick.git cd ubuntu-maverick git checkout -b bug-testing master git revert 58e15f5029c75b45adbcb25cd76a36d26a6c4297 <<press ctrl+x>> fakeroot debian/rules clean AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic This should build for you two .deb packages for linux-image (which you need to install) and linux-headers (which isn't necessary for this testing) with version number of 2.6.35-28.49 and place them in your kernel-custom directory. After installation, you need to reboot and select the new kernel. You can uninstall it in a standard way (synaptic, dpkg - choose your favourite) after you've done testing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/719446 Title: systematic freezes on any kernel version post 2.6.35-22 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
