[Peter van Toorn <p.van.toorn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was able to reconfigure my HP desktop from scratch with 4 concurrent OS after visiting my hardware supplier|:
Windows Vista on one disk
and different Linux brands on the other disk with:
1) OpenSuse 11.2 with kernel:  2.3.31 and a Gnome like (Xorg ?)
2) Fedora 13 with kernel        :  2.6.33.5 (gnome) (Xorg nouveau)
3) Gentoo      with kernel           2.6.32.-r7 (kde) (nvidia)

The HP had no crash or freezing problem using any of the OS so far.

Previously I mentioned I had crashes with Ubuntu lucid (2.6.32:22) with
and without nvidia for the GUI and even without a Gui driver like  Xorg
and/or nvidia. Not able to ping the system after freezing. REISBUD
failed too.

I noticed that the problems became more severe after introduction of
2.6.32:22 kernel. The gentoo kernel 2.6.32.7 I am using at this moment
is stable so far. So probably not a pure kernel problem

 I stated before in entries of thisbug that perhaps power management
and/heating could be the problem looking at the behaviour of my HP
refusing to boot immediately after resetting (too hot to pass the
bios?!). Of course other programs/utilities installed when 2.6.32:22 was
introduced and perhaps using 99.9-100 % of the CPU, could be another
explanation of the the random freezes. To judge that I leave it to the
team responsible for integration testing of ubuntu

I can understand that although we have more more than 48 pages of
complaints and tests on Ubuntu forum (is that a historical record?)

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478787&page=48

and more than 70 entries on this bug report, it is not clear what the
problem is. To set the status to "incomplete" for this bug report, I can
understand from a software maintenance point of view. There is no
clarity at all what is really the bug. As usual the define the correct
and complete bug report is already more than 75 % of its solution.

To define a proper (integrating) testing plan may help too to isolate
the bug(s)

Regarding the current release , it is better to define it as a pre-alpha
one.

Perhaps I may return to use Ubuntu again when 11.x has been released and is  operational for a couple of month.
Ubuntu is not my default OS any more.
