I am not sure this is related, but my gutsy keeps crashing as well, but I roughly know what causes my crashing, my Western Digital external hard drive, when I have it mounted and copying files from it, the system crashes for sure! so I can reproduce this anytime! :) but I dont know what to do after it crashed, the magic sysrq dont work, I tried this hard drive on 2 machines both running gutsy64:
Machine 1: HP Pavilion DV 5094 AMD64 ML-37 CPU 2 Gig Ram ATI Xpress 200M Machine 2: CORE2QUAD 2.4GHz 2 Gig Ram Nvidia 8500GT The hard drive is a western digital (MyBook is the model i think), with only one XFS partition. I realize this might be a broken harddrive, but even though, is ubuntu supposed to crash this way if there's an IO error? /var/log/messages doesn't have anything in there at the time of the crash. -- gutsy amd64 freeze crash lockup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157777 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
