I've "fixed" this problem also by building my own kernel. I used the vanilla 2.6.30 sources from kernel.org, copied the .config from 2.6.28-rt and issued:
make oldconfig fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers There's a bug with dkms and nvidia-common when it's ran as a post install for the kernel, so you need to remove nvidia-common package before installing the new kernel packages. I also had to upgrade the nvidia drivers to 180.53 because of kernel header changes that broke the dkms build. I used the ubuntu-x-swat x-updates ppa: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates Then just add back nvidia-common, reboot and voila, a fast and *stable* system (so far) There's a lot of kernel-rt that was ported into mainline for this release, and it feels good for audio apps, but there's still no official 2.6.30-rt patch, so you'll have to wait a bit if you depend on that. -- invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP at __find_get_block+0x21/0x1a0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/372856 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
