Comment 42 for bug 234466

I would, but I'm no longer certain that it was the patch that did the trick. Since I've upgraded to kernel 3.3.1 I haven't experienced the problem (it has been roughly 10 days) so I'll wait and see if the problem has indeed been fixed.

In this OpenSUSE bugreport ( http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2011-08/msg00104.html ) it is stated that the problem didn't exist with 2.6.37.6 and kernels prior to that, which made me downgrade to 2.6.37.6. I compiled the kernel myself and used it for 1-1.5 months without any trouble. I then installed the same version from the ubuntu kernel PPA and the problem resurfaced, making me wonder if the Ubuntu kernel PPA people had backported the code that caused the trouble.

I'll report back if the problem resurfaces with the 3.3.x series.
