The problem is still there with up-to-date 6.06 LTS and a 2.6.15-27 kernel. I have recently switched from the 64-bit kernel to 32-bit because some of the libraries I need come only in 32 bits, and the freezes seem to be getting more frequent. It usually happens within an hour, especially once I start up Firefox and/or Thunderbird.
This is a very serious issue for me, as it prevents me from using my Ubuntu box for any serious work. I would be happy to do any further investigation that would help in narrowing down the problem, but am at a loss at where to even start. I've never seen Linux crash so hard with a production kernel, there are no kernel panic messages on the screen that might indicate the source of the problem. I have suspected hardware fault, but I can run memtest for hours with no reported errors, and I drive the machine much harder in Windows XP than I do in Ubuntu and it never crashes. If anyone can advise what to do next, please let me know. -- System freeze with white screen https://launchpad.net/bugs/46470 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
