Seems more and more to me like a kernel bug affecting a specific combination of hardware (my two laptops with the same ATI GPU + AMD processors)..or perhaps, a hardware bug that needs a workaround. Sad to see it looks like this one has been around for 7+ years already :-(
I'm working on fixing the CPU frequency at boot through cpufrequtils. Maybe it will help. ** Also affects: linux-2.6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1444680 Title: System freezes randomly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-2.6/+bug/1444680/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
