Hi Mélodie, Lars and Phill,

I have still no freeze although I have been running the

~jsalisbury/lp1227202/linux-image

yesterday and today with KVM inside, running commands in the host system
as well as in the guest ones. This kernel has 64-bit. I run it is in a
Toshiba with Intel i5,

http://www.toshiba.se/laptops/satellite-pro/c850/satellite-pro-c850-19w/

I have not changed any settings according to your tips, Mélodie, no
acute need as long as the default settings work. I will look into that
later on :-)

But I can easily freeze the default daily build (as described in
previous mails).

Best regards
Nio
