Comment 12 for bug 1178026

Here some additional information on this bug:

1. The same machine works ok on Windows 8
This means that it pretty sure, that this is not a hardware issue

2. The same machine has similar problems with ubuntu:
- ubuntu 12.04.02 LTS Live hangs always at starting up X and never gets to the first "end-user-screen"
- ubuntu 12.10 Live boots correctly and the system can be installed. However also some very similar freezes occure.
I therefore suspect that the source of the bug is in a code that is shared between ubuntu and fedora.

3. Fedora 18 stops to be pingable from the moment that the freeze occures.
I therefore suspect, that this is probably not (only) Xorg that freezes but something else of the system.

4. Updating fedora 18 to the newest code does not help. The freeze still occures.

5. Changing drivers in feroda 18 from vesa to amd catalyst does not help. The freeze still occures.
This indicates that it is not an issue related to the graphics driver.

6. Monitoring of fedora 18 does not give any indication on the reason of the freeze: CPU is low and network activities are low up to the moment of freeze.
This indicated that there it no process going wild and eating up the system ressources.

7. Further logfile: Logging at /var/log/messages does not show anything unusual.

I would appreciate very much if somebody could give me some help to fix this problem. Any suggestions on how to debug, on which logs to look or what to do are very welcome?
