[Bug 207919] Re: [hardy]psmouse.c kernel panic
Hi Dave, Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear this appears to be resolved. I'll tentatively mark this "Fix Released" for Intrepid. Obviously if you notice any regressions prior to Intrepid final coming out, please reopen this report by setting the status back to "New". Now trying to describe to you what technically changed between two versions of the kernel is a rather tall order to ask. The reason I say this is because there can be literally thousands of patches that go into the kernel between just a single release (for ex from 2.6.26 to 2.6.27). This is mainly because we are constantly rebasing our kernel with what is upstream. If you only examined the Ubuntu kernel change log you'd have only seen what we've done to the kernel since we rebased. To get the full amount of changes you'd also have to examine the upstream kernel change log. And with out the stack trace of the kernel panic to help diagnose what went wrong, it's even more difficult to guess what may have resulted in the fix. The only likely way to find out exactly what fixed the issue would to do a git bisect. Sorry I couldn't be more specific here. Hope that helped a little.

[Bug 207919] Re: [hardy]psmouse.c kernel panic
I tested this earlier, first downloading 2.6.27-2 from the Intrepid APT sources, then actually upgrading to Intrepid and testing with it. I was wary doing the latter, since this is my work laptop, but so far, so good! Usually in this time frame on battery power, it would have certainly crashed. I haven't seen an errors in /var/log/messages yet, which is promising. Leann are you in a position to answer technically what has changed between the 2 versions? I had a quick peak in the Kernel changelogs, and didn't see anything obvious, and since this problem didn't exist in Feisty with the same Kernel, I'm wondering what the root cause of it actually was? -- [hardy]psmouse.c kernel panic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207919 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 207919] Re: [hardy]psmouse.c kernel panic
The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback. ** Tags added: cft-2.6.27 -- [hardy]psmouse.c kernel panic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207919 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

Indeed. I have yet to compile the custom Kernel because I upgraded my primary work desktop from Gutsy to Hardy and it blew a whole in X and now its extremely unresponsive so i'm having to use my laptop as my main work system and can't spare the CPU time. I'm going to reinstall hardy on the desktop and then i'll let you know how successful (or not) the custom Kernel is.

Hi Leann, I tried the 2.6.25-1-generic Kernel from the mentioned APT sources, and it failed miserably.

Care to test the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 kernel? It was most recently rebased with the upstream 2.6.25 kernel and is currently available in the following PPA: https://edge.launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive If you are not familiar with how to install packages from a PPA basically do the following . . . Create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kernel-ppa.list to include the following two lines: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ubuntu hardy main Then run the command: sudo apt-get update You should then be able to install the linux-image-2.6.25 kernel package. After you've finished testing you can remove the kernel- ppa.list file and run 'sudo apt-get update' once more. Please let us know your results.

I still see this on 2.6.24-17. Every few minutes, particularly if I leave the laptop for a few minutes and then come back to it, the mouse will freeze. If I stop moving the mouse when it hangs, the system will recover. If I continue to move the mouse after the system stops responding, I get a kernel panic (caps-lock and num-lock flashing).
