I think this is related to AMD hardware. I just got a new AMD E-350 machine, which has had some mysterious crashes with the 3.0.0-16-generic x86_64 kernel. After disconnecting the IR dongle, it has gone nearly 24 hours without a crash. Annoyingly, I haven't been able to get a proper backtrace because it runs FGLRX (needed for video acceleration; its puny CPU can't handle HD video). I'll try running it for a while with an upstream kernel at some point.
A while back, I ran an Intel notebook with the IR dongle attached for a while without any trouble, hence my suspicion that the problem is related to AMD hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891890 Title: Kernel oops when accessing file in sysfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/891890/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
