Bug Description

When booting 2.6.28-11-generic on my machine, my machine suffers from random oopses (related to free list it seems). It happened several times, sometimes after actively using bluetooth.
2.6.27-11-generic seems stable, i must boot on this kernel give you this report.

I attached a part of my syslog that shows the crashes.

I have the same problem since updating to 9.04.

Applications are crashing and sometimes the whole system freezes. Are you using dm-crypt to encrypt your hard drive?
Or using a ThinkPad Laptop? Because it may be one of this that causes the bug. The bug appears also on a freshly new installed system.

I am not using encryption, but I rely heavily on lvm for volumes. The machine is a desktop machine which i build myself with 4 cores and 8GB DDR3-1333 Ram. (Memtest86 passed okay.) The system was upgraded from hardy normally.

This is the dmesg after having the crash in my case.

Looks like random memory corruption too. Have you used something specific (bluetooth for instance) before the crash?

I think it had something to do with graphics adapter. Anyways. The segfaults and freezes are gone since I upgraded to 2.6.29

Hi mb,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 372225

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
