I am not sure this is related, but my gutsy keeps crashing as well, but I roughly know what causes my crashing, my Western Digital external hard drive, when I have it mounted and copying files from it, the system crashes for sure! so I can reproduce this anytime! :) but I dont know what to do after it crashed, the magic sysrq dont work, I tried this hard drive on 2 machines both running gutsy64:

Machine 1:

HP Pavilion DV 5094
AMD64 ML-37 CPU
2 Gig Ram
ATI Xpress 200M

Machine 2:
CORE2QUAD 2.4GHz
2 Gig Ram
Nvidia 8500GT

The hard drive is a western digital (MyBook is the model i think), with only one XFS partition.

I realize this might be a broken harddrive, but even though, is ubuntu supposed to crash this way if there's an IO error?

/var/log/messages doesn't have anything in there at the time of the crash.
