Kernel Panic and freeze when closing display. HP Compaq 6910p

[mb]

Hello,

I have a HP Compaq 6910p running ubuntu 8.04 Hardy. It always freezes when closing Display. Nothing is moving. Rien ne va plus.

I switched to tty1 to see if there is some Output. There was something like: "Kernel panic not synching: Attempt to kill the idle task."

If you need some information, please let me know.

regards

2. Please run the command 'dmesg > dmesg.log' and attach the resulting file 'dmesg.log' to this bug report.

adding following to /etc/rc.local worked for me:

echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/C098/DOS
exit 0

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Hi,

I tested it with the recent alpha 5 and i've had no problems with the new kernel. I've booted alpha 5 x86 and the 64bit version, closed the lid: no kernel panic error occured. seem to work on my HP 6910p.

regards.

ah, maybe I need to add that I've only tested it in Live-DC-Mode.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Hi Maximilian,

Thanks for testing and the feedback. Even though you only test using a Live-CD it sounds like this issue is resolved. I'm tentatively marking this "Fix Released" for Intrepid. If you see any regressions regarding this issue prior to Intrepid's final release, please feel free to reopen by setting the status back to "New". Thanks.
