Public bug reported: Since upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04, my server suffers from frequent freezes. I have been unable to find a pattern and the freeze 'behaviour' is not always the same: usually the system does not respond at all anymore, and sometimes an error message is printed to the console:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) free_thread_info+0xb/0x30 The attached kern.log file has the full error messages. Usually the system can reboot using Alt+SysReq+B, but sometimes that doesn't even work. And on rare occasions the keyboard lights start blinking. Now, there might be more than 1 problem at hand here, but at least I've got an error message now. PS: on 10.04 I also had occasional freezes, but that averaged once every 3 months or so. Now it happens once every three days. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Tags: precise ** Attachment added: "kern.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1306955/+attachment/4081867/+files/kern.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1306955 Title: Kernel Oops - unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference; EIP is at free_thread_info+0xb/0x30 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1306955/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
