Comment 206 for bug 585765

I've been using the Lucid RealTime kernel 2.6.31-11-rt for 9 days without a freeze, if anything my system is as stable as it's ever been. My 10.10 install still has the freezing issue.

After doing quite a bit of research (yup I read the 122+ UF pages also lol), and weeks of Hardware testing on this freezing issue, there seem to be some similar and imho unrelated bugs. I think if we're ever going to isolate these problems, we need to try to catigorize and seperate the diffent versions of the freezing issue.(I'm going to post this in the dreaded 122+ page thread).

My version ONLY freezes the mouse pointer and then stops responding to any subsequent USB mice randomly after I plug them in, also in a few cases, after having 3 mice stop responding in succession, the USB KB also stopped responding. In all cases the System is still stable and responds to remote axx. I NEVER experience high CPU usage, Video driver corruption problems or app or X crashes with this version of the freeze bug.

For the time being, I'm going to leave Kernel 2.6.31-11-rt on my main install for works sake. But I will be testing possible fixes on my 10.10 install.
There is a major BIOS update available for my MSI K9N2GM-FIH, including a unspecified USB function fix. I'll post back after flashing my BIOS.
