After upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy (Desktop, 32bit) I'm having the same problems. I have no NFS or Wireless network and the problem only seems to occur with torrents active (and I have tried a lot of different torrent clients).
The pc is used as a local server (although with the desktop version of Ubuntu installed) and the system completely freezes, which can only resolved by a hard reset. The on-board ethernet controller is used to connect to the outside world and the extra PCI ethernet card connects to the local LAN. It has an AMD Athlon 2400+ on an Abit AN7 mainboard and 512 MB RAM. I'm using kernel 2.6.24-16-generic and 1GiB swap. I'm going to try and swap the two network cables and use the on-board network for the external link and the PCI card for the local network and see of this helps. -- Heavy network activity (eg: torrent/nfs file transfers) causes Hard System Locks and/or Network Freezes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147464 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
