Go ahead and toss it. The problem was in the HID driver for the joystick. I debugged the problem, submitted a patch at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/618853, went through the effort to build a second test kernel at the request of https://launchpad.net/~jeremyfoshee, posted my results, he ignored it, and marked it closed.
F**k you very much canonical, you can figure out your kernel bugs without my volunteer assistance in the future. -- rec -- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/428591 Title: locks up machine -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
