Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic
Since building this computer a week ago, I have had three kernel panics
where the system freezes up and the keyboard lights (caps-lock, scroll-
lock and possibly num-lock too) blink on and off. It appears to be
random; I remember that the last time it happened was copying the
contents of a video DVD to the hard disk, with no transcoding involved -
however I have performed this since without any problems, and the system
stays up even when doing intensive gaming.
I am running Ubuntu 7.10.
The specs of my computer are as follows:
Nvidia 8600 GT graphics on PCI-E with the Nvidia New driver loaded from
Restricted Drivers Manager
2 gigs of DDR2, which pass Memtest 86
Intel Core 2 Duo 6850
Asus P5K Premium motherboard (integrated wifi, which works perfectly
out-of-the-box)
WD 7200RPM SATA hard disk
No swap partition
Frequency of the problem: Seems to be completely random, but so far has
always happened after the computer has been on for a while. 3 times in a
week, spread out over the week. Airflow in the computer is not a
problem.
I have recently learnt of /var/log/kern.log.0; I grepped for the string
"Oops" with a Before of 10 and an After of 50 and found the attached
entries (I hope there's a way to attach files straight to this bug
report). It looks to my untrained eye that it's being triggered by the
Nvidia drivers, but I don't know if it might be a problem in the kernel
or even in Xorg.
