Public bug reported:
Situation:
I'm having a hard time with my laptop (an Acer TravelMate 3200). This
laptop has been running Ubuntu from day one (back from the Breezy days).
However, it just doesn't like Hardy.
Symptoms:
Just a random variety of freezes, hangs, lockups (sometimes the cursor
survives but everything else dies, sometimes the cursor dies too,
sometimes i can alt+sysrq+b, sometimes i cannot). ctrl+alt+backspacing X
does not work, and neither do every ctrl+alt+fX combo.
Fedora 9 fails as well (2.6.25 kernel).
I have also tried Debian Sid with a few kernels. Out of the lot (2.6.22,
2.6.24, 2.6.25) only 2.6.22 works.
I find it easier to reproduce when I connect/disconnect a usb keyboard
on the laptop, while running X. sometimes it happens with absolutely no
interaction (e.g. boot up the laptop and leave it on the gdm prompt).
As I mentioned above, this doesn't seem to be an Ubuntu-specific issue, but I'm
posting this here because:
1. I just love launchpad :)
2. Ubuntu is the distro I'd like to run on this laptop
3. Hopefully this will get more attention and/or be forwarded to upstream when
the problem has been spotted.
Let me know if there anything that you'd like me to attach (lshw, lspci etc
etc).
Thanks for reading.
