I have compiled three Ubuntu Jaunty kernel packages based on Brian
Rogers' findings upstream at made them available at
http://www.kvante.info/845Gfreeze/ . They may also work in Karmic, but
I'm not sure. If you have the same problem as Brian, 2.6.30-freezetest1
should work without the freezes and 2.6.30-freezetest9 should freeze. I
also included another kernel, 2.6.30-freezetest8, which is the same as
freezetest9 except the last (and suspicious) commit is not included. If
2.6.30-freezetest8 doesn't freeze and 2.6.30-freezetest9 does, we know
what commit triggers the problem and upstream can hopefully use that to
fix this bug. If freezetest8 also freezes there is some more bisecting
to do.

In order to test the kernels, it is enough to download the linux-
image*.deb packages. (the linux-headers packages are not necessary for
testing). They install side-by-side with the each other and the other
packages on your system, so you can download all three to a folder and
do an `dpkg -i linux-image*.deb`. You can then choose which kernel to
test in the Grub boot menu. When you are done testing you may remove the
test kernels with `dpkg -P linux-image-2.6.30-freezetest1 linux-
image-2.6.30-freezetest8 linux-image-2.6.30-freezetest9`.

I may set up a wiki page for reporting test results, but for now feel
free to report the results in a comment here.
