I'm a little concerned that "affects compiz" might be sending the team down the wrong path in looking for a solution. My system locks up on me even after compiz is fully removed.
I also note that on the same machine, Fedora 9 works fine, even with compiz running. Fedora kernel: 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 In the forums, this appears to be related to the kernel and wireless driver: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=968792 To quote the significant solution: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- System lock-ups with Intel 4965 wireless The version of the iwlagn wireless driver for Intel 4965 wireless chipsets included in Linux kernel version 2.6.27 causes kernel panics when used with 802.11n or 802.11g networks. Users affected by this issue can install the linux-backports-modules-intrepid package, to install a newer version of this driver that corrects the bug. (Because the known fix requires a new version of the driver, it is not expected to be possible to include this fix in the main kernel package.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have to have my laptop configured and running for a meeting Thursday- Friday, so I'll have to wait until Monday the 17th for testing.
