Comment 4 for bug 360894

There are still infrequent crashes, about once every week, typically a
failure to suspend completely, suspend light blinks. But the automatic
crash report fails, i.e. it seems to refuse to recognize the 30-10
kernel as a genuine Ubuntu package.

I will be happy to send a report with the relevant dumps, if someone can
point me to doc on how to do it manually.
