kernel issue then.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Per the kernel team's bug policy, can you please attach the following information. Please be sure to attach each file as a separate attachment.

* cat /proc/version_signature > version.log
* dmesg > dmesg.log
* sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log

For more information regarding the kernel team bug policy, please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies . Thanks again and we appreciate your help and feedback.

Hi there Leann,

I know about that policy. No, I cannot provide you that info at the moment, but I can reproduce this by the weekend if you think that it will provide you with valuable info. The issue is I have downgrade to 8.10 as I experienced trouble with 9.04 for my daily work. I did not know it was in fact a kernel issue, so I did not attach that info at the time I filed this. I should have thought of it though, sorry. The issue is I am running low in disk space. So I have two options:

1) Resize existing partitions, create a new one and install a jaunty test partition and upgrade it, then provide you with the info.

2) Back everything up and also create an aptoncd image just in case and either do a reinstall over my old data without formatting, or just wipe everything out.

Unfortunately I cannot use the Jaunty live CD for this, as that will require a reboot of the kernel. Also virtualbox-ose is no solution as I need the original driver and motherboard configuration. Both procedures will take me about a whole (weekend) day. I am willing to do that, but please confirm first that it will be valuable indeed, and if so provide me with the data list you want me to generate: the above kernel debug policies (lspci, dmesg, version, uname) + gdb strace valgrind (and possibly memtest) , .xsessionfile and such more. I can leave a small jaunty partition on my disk, but not for too long unfortunately. Also tell me: compat, network-manager (bzr) and what more? If you have a clear idea in mind of something that will be valuable, I will do it, otherwise please close this one down.

Thanks,

Thomas

Since this bug has not been updated in a while, and based on tdflanders' previous comments, I am going to close this bug. If you are able to reproduce the bug, and feel that it is still an issue, please do not hesitate to re-open the bug. Also, please do not hesitate to file new bug reports in the future. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better.
