The same happens to me on a Thinkpad R61: random lockups under heavy network traffic, although it happens much more rarely (once or twice a week while continuously running a torrent client).
I use: - the latest Gutsy as of today - stock Ubuntu 2.6.22-14.52 kernel - ipw3495 network driver - KDE 3.5.8 - (k)networkmanager connecting to a WPA-PSK network There're no relevant entries in the syslog and MagicSysRQ-keys don't work either. After the lock-up, the computer is not reachable from it's network interfaces -- and I also don't have a port replicator to try a serial console. I know it's very little information but it's a really annoying problem so I'm willing to put a lot of energy into helping you debug it if you provide me with some tips what to look for. (Remember that I can't do anything but turn off and on the computer after the lock-up and there's nothing in the logs. Also, the problem cannot be triggerred directly, it happens randomly once in every couple of days. Doesn't sound to promising, I know :)) -- Kernel-module "ipw2200" causes total kernel lockup on my notebook (Thinkpad R31) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/114329 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
