Comment 76 for bug 355155

I have the same issue, system uptime with identical load activity for Intrepid (8.10) for 2 weeks or more (until I needed to boot Windows) with no issues. Installed Jaunty (fresh) May 12th, and every 12-30 hours of uptime I have a 'Hard Freeze' .... nada, no keyboard, mouse, 5 second power-interrupt requirement (no kernel panic?).

Originally discovered this bug doing an rm on a directory (about 100 files) from cli.
have successfully used the 'rm' without incident, most of the time, but 3 other times.
Decided to apt-get uqm to enjoy a little nostalgia, crash? same as before, rebooted, clicked the 'crash happened' bubble upon reboot, and it froze (as if BAITING me)...

Very irrational bug, if you ask me. There is little logic, except maybe video -- I was playing a movie and it froze then as well (today).

BUT, that does remind me that I had 'reniced' the vlc process to stop the jumpiness since I have a P4 -- COULD that be an issue? (renice -15).

I do agree with the previous posters, this is definitely a deal breaker to put on my live server -- Does anyone know if this is solely a gdm issue?

Also, I do have heavy network (wired) use from time to time.
