[Bug 194523] Re: computer frozen

[moa3333]

I have installed ndiswrapper instead of b43 and ssb... My computer still freezes.

Conclusion: it is not a problem of b43 or of nvidia. Since i have done
no other change, it is surely a problem caused by the upgrade from
Feisty to Hardy, most probably the kernel itself or a  new module in the
kernel.


** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: linux-image
+ package:  linux-image-2.6-amd64-generic
  
- pakcage:   linux-image-2.6-amd64-generic
- 
- hints: new kernel, b43 wifi driver, other reasons?
- 
- Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-8-generic #1 SMP Thu Feb 14 20:13:27 UTC 2008 x86_64
- GNU/Linux
+ Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-11-generic #1 SMP Fri Feb 29 21:26:31 UTC 2008
+ x86_64 GNU/Linux
  
  From time to time (every 10 to 100 minutes) the computer is frozen with
  no reason. It dosen't matter what i do when it freezes. With no reason,
  the image is frozen, the mouse is not responding, and i can't switch to
- any terminals either. I think the kernel is the problem.
+ any terminals either. It hapends since after updating to the latest
+ alpha a few months ago.
  
- It hapends since i've updated to the latest alpha feisty from gutsy a
- few days ago (so upgrade to the kernel also)
- 
- Other changes i made is installing the b43 proprietary driver for my
- wifi card (instead of the old ndiswrapper driver) - i do'nt know if it
- is because of this driver or not.
- http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
- 
- On my gutsy i only had the old nvidia driver buffer overflow in compiz,
- but it didnt made the kernel freeze (it slowed down the computer) so i
- guess it is not realted to this old bug.
+ hints: the kernel, a module of the kernel (other than nvidia, ssb or
+ b43), other reasons?
