Given the NMI messages I was getting at the console when the hang occurred, I tried booting with "nmi_watchdog=2". This seems to have stopped the crashed occurring for me. I've managed to scp several gigs of data over the LAN whereas before, the machine would hang after just a few hundred megs.
Unfortunately this conflicts with vboxdrv from virtualbox-ose :-( I'll continue testing & post any further results. If anyone would like me to test anything else out I'm happy to help. -- Linux kernel 2.6.24-12 lockup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204996 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
