ok, I've run a MemTest (yet again) and it passed (again). Alt+PrintScreen+R followed by Ctrl+Alt+F1 didn't do anything for me at all. The keyboard is completely dead when the lockup happens. Only the mouse pointer works.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSystemCrash doesn't seem to have much else for me to try. I have only this one machine so remote debugging is out of the question. Even https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingXorg requires remote access if I've understood it correctly. I did find a post containing what sounds very very much like my problem: http://kerneltrap.org/node/16521 -- Soft lockups in Hardy shortly after boot up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250837 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
