[Bug 535572] Re: System hard locks with Lucid

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  I'm currently using Kubuntu Lucid Alpha 3 with latest updates applied
  and the more recent xorg drivers from the xorg-edgers PPA on launchpad
  as this machine has a AMD/ATI Radeon HD4770 (RV740) and only the 2.6.33
  kernel has the initialization fix to run this system at all (of course
  vesa could be used otherwise but that is a waste of resources).
  
  The system comes up in UMS only (KMS is still broken with this card). It
  runs fine for a while and then hard locks at some point.
  
  There is nothing in the logs. If I wouldn't run the clock at my Logitech
  G15 LCD keyboard I wouldn't know when it locked up.
  
  I monitor the system to exclude failing hardware.
  
  Beside those hard locks I discovered some other oddities:
  
  - KVM kernel modules (kvm, kvm-amd) doesn't load at boot time (not even with forcing them through /etc/modules)
  - g15daemon starts but then just whipes away, LCD is black after that
  
  Hardware:
  - AMD Phenom II X4 955 (3.2GHz)
  - 2x 2GB DDR3 RAM (1333MHz)
  - Gigabyte GA-790XTA-UD4 motherboard
  - AMD/ATI Radeon HD4770 (RV740)
  - Dell WFP3007 30" LCD (2560x1600)
  - 2x 500GB (Hitachi Deskstar T7K500, no RAID)
  
  I've even updated the BIOS in hope that it fixes the issue.
