My problem may not have been a 2.6.28-16 kernel problem after all. I had another crash after going back to 2.6.28-15 (!!); then, I went into the BIOS setup options and lowered the RAM speed, booted up with 2.6.28-16, and the machine has been running stably for the past three days.
This doesn't mean there aren't any problems with 2.6.28-16, of course -- only that my problem is most likely not due to this kernel version. -- system freezes upon handling large files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462729 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
