I just want to add my own confirmation, and the relevant files, here. Like everyone else, I encounter seemingly random system freezes on Jaunty. On the same machine on which I encounter these freezes, I have no problems running Crunchbang 8.10, Debian Lenny, or ArchLinux -- the issue occurs only with Ubuntu (and perhaps only with Ubuntu 9.04). As someone else mentioned, I think this bug is worth marking "Critical"; it's enough for me to have just removed Ubuntu from my machine and returned to Debian, anyway.
Some relevant info in addition to the above: the problem occurred for me on a 32-bit version of Ubuntu 9.04 running on a Compaq Presario C700 laptop. My kern.log file shows the TSC lines (and the hpet lines) that others have mentioned. Other information is in the attachments here and below. ** Attachment added: "kern.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27074602/kern.log -- Clocksource tsc unstable leads to lockups in Ubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355155 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
