[Bug 671155] Re: system crashes randomly, needing hard reboot

 

grdoe, 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:
  system crashes randomly, needing hard reboot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Randomly, but very frequently (once or twice per hour), the system
  freezes, crashes, then needing a hard reboot.

  After rebooting, the last lines before crash in logs are ALWAYS some of the following:
  "Skipping EDID probe due to cached edid"
  "EXT4-fs (sda5): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=0"
  "EXT4-fs (sda7): re-mounted. Opts: commit=0"

  And some times some of the following as well:
  "padlock: VIA PadLock not detected."
  "EXT4-fs (dm-0): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)"

  Also, this bug never occurred in this hardware before, with Xubuntu 10.04, but quite often now with Ubuntu 10.10.
  At first I though it was linked to a pulseaudio issue, not yet solved : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/629339
  So I posted a question as well for the pulseaudio issue : https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/132340

  But now it seems that bug occurs as well when no sound is played at
  all, and when pulseaudio seems to be fine.
