Public bug reported: Computer freezes when running Feisty. This happens when using LiveCD, but also with HDD-based-version with all updates installed. System stops responding, mouse cursor freezes, no response to any keyboard input, including Num Lock. Freezes occur on average every 2-3 minutes. Only reboot helps after a freeze. When using console, the following message is displayed:
[64.036621] BUG soft lockup detected on CPU#0!8 The above mentioned error was displayed when I booted the system, waited for graphical login screen to appear, then immediately switched to console by pressing Ctrl+F2, and started to type sudo apt-get, when the system froze. I did not even manage to press enter key to execute the command. Edgy runs pretty stable on the same hardware. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- kernel lockup on feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/91192 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
