[Bug 273842] Re: KPC680 cellmodem card crashes Intrepid/NM7 (could be airprime.ko kernel module is the culprit)
Solved. Turned out to be a couple of settings at /etc/ppp/options, where both "lcp-echo-interval" and "lcp-echo-failure" need a value of "0" (no quotes). This was causing glitches in both WVDial scripts and Network Manager 7, leading me to blame the underlying driver.

[Bug 273842] [NEW] KPC680 cellmodem card crashes Intrepid/NM7 (could be airprime.ko kernel module is the culprit)
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kernel-image-2.6.27-4-generic-di Short form: my cellmodem works, passes data respectably for a bit, then disconnects. And reconnecting sometimes causes hard-lock of the whole system. My investigations under Hardy pointed to the airprime.ko kernel module and I suspect the same is going on here. Long form: I'm using Ubuntu Intrepid Alpha 6-32bit, all updates as of the evening of Sept. 23rd (kernel 2.6.27-4 unmodified). I have a cellular modem under Verizon, Kyocera model KPC680 (laptop Expresscard slot). Under lsusb I get: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0c88:180a Kyocera Wireless Corp. I think this card is also used by at least one other cellular provider (Cingular?). Network Manager 7 will let me connect through it as a CDMA Network device, and I get very strong performance in speedtest.net or similar: over 2000kb/s download, around 300 up which is similar to what my last device (a Verizon USB720) pulled in Hardy via wvdial script or Intrepid Alpha 5 and Network Manager 7. The problem with the KPC680 under Intrepid is that first, it times out it's connection after around 10 minuted (varies) and second, on manual reconnect it sometimes hard-locks the system (to a point where NO debugging is possible). The timeouts (connection just ends) happen regardless of whether there's data being transferred or not...in other words trying to "hold the connection open" with something like a torrent in the background doesn't work. The connection timeouts with this KPC680 are similar to what I saw trying to get this critter running in Hardy (with a wvdial script). So either the underlying airprime driver needs help for this card, or NM7 needs to be tuned to support it better, I'm not sure which. I suspect it could be solved at either end (kernel or NM7?). I jumped back to Intrepid today specifically to try this device; it's the only used-and- cheap replacement I could find locally after losing that wonderful USB720 plug-in USB critter. Note: there's a chance the same issues will affect the KPC650 card (PCMCIA) as it's also airprime-based. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: kernel-image-2.6.27-4-generic-di Short form: my cellmodem works, passes data respectably for a bit, then disconnects.

Huh. Well the -rt kernel IS working for me still, long enough that I can confirm it solved things for me. Which in turn suggests we've got multiple issues going on.

I think you're on to something, that it's disk-access related somehow. There's a few reports of screwed-up swapfile access from some of our brethren afflicted :). That may be tied to how much memory we have - I'm running 1.5gig and hence I'm not hitting swap. But if I was, screwball disk access could show up as a swapfile issue. Huh. In better news, I've been throwing more and more stuff at mine trying to get it to puke under the -rt kernel. No "luck" so far, which is good...this may be a sound alternative to a kernel recompile. The pieces I added in Synaptic were: linux-headers-2.6.24-16-rt (needed if you're a Virtualbox user or otherwise have to compile kernel modules!) linux-headers-rt (possibly same boat as above) linux-image-2.6.24-16-rt linux-image-rt linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-rt linux-restricted-modules-rt I also edited grub: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst In there, I recommending making a couple of changes, as so: --- ## timeout sec # Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry # (normally the first entry defined). timeout 20 ## hiddenmenu # Hides the menu by default (press ESC to see the menu) #hiddenmenu --- Commenting "hiddenmenu" (default is active) makes your system pick from the kernel list on each boot, while increasing the "timeout" number gives you more time to pick. This is just while you're testing various kernels. I have server, rt, 386 and generic. Server so far has been a failure, haven't played with "386" but I don't have high hopes. It's -rt that's the big change that with luck isn't going to crash on me...I've got about four hours use on it so far. Fingers crossed it stays blow-up free.

[Bug 204996] Re: Linux kernel 2.6.24-12 lockup
The common denominator is heavy CPU activity. I can't see ANY other pattern here, guys, unless it's some very obscure chipset component. Even then, some are running ATI CPUs which likely use damn few similar "guts" parts with my Intel-based lappy fr'instance... Video chips, WiFi chips, we're all over the friggin' map here. Which makes me think this one will be a royal bear to sort out. -- 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
[Bug 178119] Re: random lockups in hardy
This may be the same as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/204996 ? If so it's still happening to me with kernel 2.6.24-16.30-generic.

[Bug 204996] Re: Linux kernel 2.6.24-12 lockup
Yeah, same thing here, hard lockups every two to four hours. Thing goes totally dead. Hardware: Acer 3680 laptop, Celeron single-core 1.6gHz, 533 memory bus, Atheros WiFi, 80gig SATA hard disk, 1.5gigs memory, Intel945 video, Intel sound, Marvell Ethernet chipset. This thing ran great under Gutsy and Feisty, no signs of overheating. I briefly switched back to Gutsy and all lockups vanished. My usually Internet connection is a Verizon EVDO cellmodem, Kyocera KPC650 PCMCIA set up as a PPP device, but I'm also crashing with it pulled so that's not it. Software: pretty basic Hardy setup, also VirtualBox 1.5.6. Most crashes have happened without running a guest OS (XP). Things I've tried: disabling Compiz, disabling Powernowd, pulling the Atheros miniPCI card completely, switching from Network Manager to Wicd, disabling Tracker completely, various others. Nothing has helped. Version.log file (as described above) contains: Ubuntu 2.6.24-16.30-generic dmesg.log file is attached to this post, the last log will go in next. ** Attachment added: "dmesg.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13502974/dmesg.log -- 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
