[Bug 173425] Hard freeze Gutsy, may be easily reproduced on a box running Feisty fine all the time

[Gerd Bavendiek]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-generic

Hi,

running my laptop under Feisty really fine, I installed Gutsy on a
separate partition. After some testing I found that trying to switch
from X to console via e.g. CTRL Alt F2 completely locks the box. This is
a real hard freeze.

To get more information, I ran netconsole. I got
[ 248.260000] netconsole: network logging started
on the listening side.

Furthermore I was logged in via ssh on the Feisty box and I ran a ping
against the Feisty box.

When I press CTRL Alt F2 on the Laptop, 
- ssh does not respond any longer
- ping gets no further pong
- no messages via netconsole

This may be reproduced at any time.

The box in question is an old laptop (+3yrs) with Intel Corporation
82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device, running fine all the time. I use
it all the time, so I am really sure, that this is an software issue.

I really would like to help to track this down.

Kind regards

Gerd
