[Bug 610055] Re: [pm-utils][maverick] system stutters, freezes, hangs, gratuitous 'Commit=0' errors

 

John Lenton, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  [Dell Latitude E6400] system stutters, freezes, hangs, gratuitous
  'Commit=0' errors

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm not sure if this should be one bug report or many, and I don't have much info to put in here.
  My computer is stuttering (doing small one-second freeze, similar to a OOM but it's not that), freezing (mouse and keyboard lock up, but wifi still blinks) and hanging completely (although this might be the same as the latter, because it happens when I open the lid - not a suspend/resume cycle, just closing the lid while on AC, opening it, blank screen and no activity).
  There is very little in the logs. The stuttering happens at random times, but especially when plugging in AC, at which point I get a SATA error in the logs, something like:
  Jul 21 10:54:31 hulla kernel: [ 5913.787813] ata6: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4040000 action 0xe frozen

  Jul 21 10:54:41 hulla kernel: [ 5923.792609] ata6: hard resetting link
  setting /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/link_power_management_policy to min_power stops the stuttering once it's started, and turning off IRRT seems to have gotten rid of them (but the system is slower as a result).
  I also get something similar almost every day, right after cron finishes,
