Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-generic
Hi,
running my laptop under Feisty really fine, I installed Gutsy on a separate partition. After some testing I found that trying to switch from X to console via e.g. CTRL Alt F2 completely locks the box. This is a real hard freeze.
To get more information, I ran netconsole. I got
[ 248.260000] netconsole: network logging started
on the listening side.
Furthermore I was logged in via ssh on the Feisty box and I ran a ping against the Feisty box.
When I press CTRL Alt F2 on the Laptop,
- ssh does not respond any longer
- ping gets no further pong
- no messages via netconsole
This may be reproduced at any time.
The box in question is an old laptop (+3yrs) with Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device, running fine all the time. I use it all the time, so I am really sure, that this is an software issue.
I really would like to help to track this down.
Kind regards
Gerd
