[Bug 1215513] Re: System locks up, requires hard reset

 

dac922,

First off, my Ubuntu 12.0.4 LTS Server was just upgraded to Kernel
vmlinuz-3.2.0-53-generic-pae.  But I see in your post that you're
working on kernel 3.8.0-31.46.  Am I supposed to upgrade 12.0.4, running
in production to kernel 3.8?  Yikes!

In the last paragraph of your comment, you mention seeing the buffer I/O
error messages.  Shouldn't this mean that bug #1217189 should be re-
opened to address that issue?  (It's currently got a comment that "it's
a duplicate of #1215513").

I still think /etc/init/zram-config.conf should be looked at, for a
possible calculation error.  (As mentioned in an earlier post by me,
this file exists, if you "apt-get install zram-config" as root (or with
sudo).  To repeat my question, was that configuration file looked at,
when you were doing the kernel patch?)

Thank you and best regards,

Kenneth Parker, Seattle, WA

P.S.  I'm a Computer Consultant, specializing in Network and Security
issues.  I could be working on problems like this, except that, as a
"general troubleshooter", I'm typically up to my eyeballs in alligators,
and prefer to deal in the "big picture", unless there's a good reason
for getting into "detailed troubleshooting mode", like having error
messages when booting my server.  Thanks!

Bug description:
  Since I started using 3.8.0-29 I experienced system lock ups at random
  times. First one was while running Virtualbox (windows guest) but
  later have been without virtualbox running for example while shutting
  down or while reading a webpage.

  I could not find any relevant log, but I'd post any log file
  considered useful.

  This has hapened in 2 different machines (the one im reporting from is
  intel with intel graphics and the other is AMD with radeon graphics).
  Both 64 bits.

  Up until 3.8.0-27 inclusive I had not had a lockup in years in any of
  those machines. I have been running Ubuntu 64 bit since at least 2008
  in one of them.
