Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-12-generic
I was upgrading from gutsy (with Linux 2.6.22-14) to the latest alpha
last sunday (16.03.2008), and I've got some problems with the kernel.
The 2.6.24-12-generic (I think, may be -386) causes my machine to lock
up (hard) after about 5 minutes. Generally I was under X, there is no
specific program I was using at the time it locked up.
The hardware is completely stable & has been for the last 3 years with
ubuntu, and still is with hardy & the gutsy kernel.
Another thing I noticed is that something in the initrd keeps the
machine from booting for at least 2-3 minutes. It's definetely before
running scripts in the /etc/rcS.d folder, I have not traced it in the
initrd. After booting all is well until it locks up.
The hardware is a Dell C400, Intel chipset, Intel graphics (i830), 384MB
of RAM and an atheros wireless card.
lsb_release:
Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04
It's completely reproductible, the freeze takes out the whole kernel (no
reply to ping from network). Any suggestions on how to trace it? I have
a serial port, no parallel.
