Bug Description

Since upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 beta on my Thinkpad T61, I encounter system freezes (screen freezes, caps-lock light blinking) some random time after boot. Can be after 5 minutes or even after couple of hours. I've noticed that it was more likely to happen during IM conversations either via Pidgin or Skype, but that might be coincidence, since it happens also during other times.

My current workaround is to deactivate wireless through the gnome network manager. When I do that I can work the whole day without a crash. That's why I suspect something related to wireless to cause this.

I've tried booting 8.10 with the 2.6.19 kernel (which worked under 8.04 without problems) but with same results.

Thanks for your report.

This is likely a dup of bug 276990
Can you please run the command "sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the file lspci-vvnn.log

Thanks in advance.
