Comment 9 for bug 95569

I am also experiencing crashes related to CPU frequency scaling. I have a dual core processor (Core 2 Duo E6600) and every time I run a heavy process the computer freezes once the process is finished and load goes to zero. If I run e.g. glxgears with nice 19 in the background, this does not occur. I can also fix this by saying

sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector

and setting both cores to "performance" (i.e. full frequency all the time). This happens both in edgy and feisty. However, one of the first Feisty alpha kernels did not have this bug. If I remember correctly it was 2.6.19-7.

My motherboard is Abit AB9 with latest BIOS. I also have another similar system, but with a different motherboard (Asus Commando). The second computer does not suffer from this bug.
