[Gutsy] Regression? Hard lockup with 2.6.22-14, ndiswrapper?

[Jon Skanes]

Binary package hint: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic

This appears to be a regression. I have had no problems until installing 2.6.22-14. My system info is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/150275 . Here is what I got in the kernel log at the crash:

[Andreas Gnau (rondom)]

When does this hard lockup occur? What did you do?

If it occurs at boot, try blacklisting ndiswrapper (I don't think ndiswrapper is the reason for this, but I may be wrong on this).

[Andreas Gnau (rondom)]

I overlooked something this could indeed be related to ndiswrapper. Try using the latest ndiswrapper (1.48) from ndiswrapper.sf.net (sudo make uninstall; make; sudo make install). If this fixes your problem, this bug is a duplicate of bug 133110

[Jon Skanes (jon-skanes)]

Ok, I'm now running 1.48. I'll give it a try with some heavy use for a bit. As for what I was doing when it crashed, I was listening to a windows media stream in kaffeine while reloading 7 or 8 tabs in firefox.

Is there any reason why such an old version of ndiswrapper is the default for gutsy?

Thanks,
Jon

ndiswrapper 1.48 has been stable since i reported this. Can you update in the distribution?
