I don't have the same problem but I noticed some very strange behaviours with the new Kernel.

For example my Opera was crashing all the time… – After booting into linux-image-3.0.0-17-generic again everything was/is O.K. again…

Also my Wifi disconnected and my banking software Hibiscus/Jameica crashed unexpectedly with 3.0.0-18. :-/

[Luis Henriques (henrix)]

I have build a test kernel that we would like you to test if possible. The only addition commit on this test kernel is 93dc6107a76daed81c07f50215fa6ae77691634f "Don't limit non-nested epoll paths".

Could you please check if it solves the issues you're having and report back? You can get this kernel here:

The kernel from comment #3 made it worse if anything. Even lightdm did not start for me. When I boot 3.0.0-17 everything is all right.

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

Anyone experiencing this issue, please try the kernel at: http://people.canonical.com/~herton/fpu_bug/

[Eugene Crosser (crosser)]

3.0.0-19 that arrived today fixes the problem for me.
