Hello alltogether! I have some new knowledges in the case of the freezes. Without any changes at the "Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Alternate"-installation my machine freezes with the Kernel 2.6.20-15-generic, 2.6.20-16-generic and 2.6.20-16-386. To get more stability I have to change 1. The Bios-Setting ACPI 2.0 support from disabled to enabled. 2. Uninstall powernowd 3. Install the ATI-driver 8.39.4 With these settings and Kernel 2.6.20-15-generic my machine runs without any freezes; with the kernels 2.6.20-16-generic and 2.6.20-16-386 my machine freezes within 30 minutes max. If I add the additional kernel parameters noapic nolapic irqpoll ht=on my machine freezes a few minutes after reboot with various programs. If I uninstall the restricted graphics driver my machine freezes a few minutes after disabling and with all kernels above-mentioned and various programs. While I am writing this comment I test the "sudo /etc/init.d/powernowd stop" with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic - it still works; this trick was posted from Riccardo Lucchese at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/131973 respectively at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=412125&page=60 Best regards IVIr.X -- Random kernel crash/freeze in Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115275 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
