Comment 41 for bug 157777

A machine with AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ ran perfectly stable for months with 7.04. Repeated crashes occurred as soon as the upgrade to 7.10 completed with no other system changes. Have then switched from nv X driver to nvidia and added maxcpus=1 in an attempt to workaround. Still crashes. Keyboard LEDs sometimes flash steadily but otherwise it's locked hard.

I'm not alone. Can someone please give us all some feedback? Do problems like this ever get investigated or are we just meant to sit and hope 8.04 fixes it? What can we do to help? Some who've installed their own later versions of the kernel report the crashes stop so it's probably been fixed already, we need that fix in 7.10 or be told it will never happen so we can make other arrangements.
