I have this bug too on edgy , i have a lapton dell inspiron 6400. I guess the problem is the wifi (ipw3945). If I desactivate the wifi (in the bios or with the hotkey), edgy load normally. If i let wifi open, edgy crash at the middle of loading with the error "soft lockup detected on cpu#o" Notice that i have this message only in recovery mode (no error message in normal mode, the system hangs) When edgy is load, and if i reactivate wifi with the hotkey, wifi dont work completly for me : all seems to be normal , access point found, iwconfig normal (but ifconfig display packets errors) => no way to route any packets even to the access point. (ping 192.168.0.1 (my access point) gives 'destination host unreachable') However, In network monitor, wifi packets are well received (many per seconds), but only few are send, 1 each second or like that. I have noticed too, a strange thing, if I use the ethernet card for internet and go on a random http address wth firefox, and next desactivate the ethernet card and next activate the wifi, and reload the page on firefox, it is working for this page (wifi packets seems to send when i look the network monitor) but only on this page (what is strange is that it seems to be not the cache on firefox which display the page but really packets transmission via wifi)
Else, In Dapper wifi worked fine (but I had a problem with the smp kernel with speedstep cpu like the core duo until the patch release some months ago). Edgy and his generic kernel is very fine for that. -- BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0! https://launchpad.net/bugs/60053 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
