Hey all,

In addition to the 3.2.0-23-lowlatency kernel, I'm pleased to report that my Dell Latitude D620 HAS NOT CRASHED with the 3.3.7-030307-generic kernel. It had been running for almost six hours straight with not a single crash yesterday. The 3.4.0-030400-generic kernel did, though, after only a day.

I have not tried the 3.2.0-27-generic yet, and I have been tempted to do it. I just might install it in addition to the other kernels (I kept the 3.2.0-23-lowlatency as a backup just in case the 3.3.7 kernel didn't work out).

For instructions on installing new kernels, go to #328 where I give detailed instructions on how to do it.

So, to recap my experiences with the various kernels:

3.2.0-23-generic and generic-pae: crashes horribly
3.2.0-23-lowlatency and lowlatency-pae: no crashes. Tends to hog resources a bit, though.
3.2.0-24-generic: honestly, hadn't tried it yet, but am not exactly holding my breath
3.2.0-25-generic and generic-pae: crashes horribly
3.2.0-26, 3.2.0-27, or 3.2.0-29: hadn't tried any of them yet. I'm tempted to try them, though.
3.3.7-.030307-generic: works quite nicely so far. If it doesn't, I'll post it right here.
3.4.0-030400-generic: crashes horribly
