[Bug 1372169] Re: random reboot with MSI A78M-E45

 

unfortunatetly I can't do that. The affected machine is a production
machine. It is now running fine since the fglrx module is installed.
Installing the new Kernel means a risk of breaking it for other reasons
and it means uninstalling the fglrx module for testing (otherwise it
wouldn't make sense, right?) = risk to break it again for the same
reason.

It was a lot of work, bringing the machine into a stable state. I don't
want to risk this to be worthless. Sorry.

Title:
  random reboot with MSI A78M-E45

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  when using the default Radeon-driver on this machine, random reboots
  occure every time. Every time means also during installation of the
  system and after install too. This problem was fixed at this machine
  with the following workaround:

  1. install of Xubuntu 12.04.4 with the default Kernel 3.2

  2. install of the current fglrx-updates package

  3. upgrade to Xubuntu 14.04

  The system now is using the fglrx-updates module and seems to be
  stable. No random reboots after 1 day of testing.

  In the previous mentioned Xubuntu 12.04.4 system, these random reboots
  never occured, also when the default radeon driver package was used.

  The conclusion for me is: there must be some MSI-hardware related
  issue which was not critical for the old 3.2 Kernel as well as the old
  xorg and radeon driver which was used in 12.04.4.

  Thanks
