Guys - this bug report is going to get difficult for people to triage
because of the number of people 'confirming' the same symptoms. The
symptoms you are all describing could have multiple causes The more
people post (and the more hardware permutations are thrown in), the more
difficult it is going to become to solve.

I've had a look through this report, and I can summarize the following:

5 of you with these symptoms are using a Ralink card (rt61pci driver?) -
kastyk, David Burke, Nick Russell, Barrakketh and quadomatic. Both David
Burke and Nick Russell have pretty much confirmed that the issue goes
away when removing the wireless card. Could the other three do something
similar and post the findings please? If you all report the same, then
this points to an issue with the Ralink driver you are using, which
should be covered by this bug report.

This means that other people should probably open up a new bug report,
and post exact details of the hardware (output of lspci -vvnn, uname -a
etc...)

Mark Mandel - you are not using the Ralink chipset, so if this bug
report points to Ralink you might be better off opening a new report. I
notice you have NVIDIA graphics. Could you disable the NVIDIA binary
driver to see if it goes away? I see from your logs that you are also
running VMWare. Does the issue go away if you stop the VMWare modules
from loading (I'm not sure of the best way to do this other than
uninstalling VMWare).

Dylan McCall - you say yourself that you have entirely different
hardware, so your crash may not be connected. You also state that you
see a jump in load before the crash. How do you know that this is not a
crashing Xorg as opposed to a hard lock? You say Alt+SysRq+1 and
Alt+SysRq+t do nothing, but then I don't think you would see any effect
if Xorg has crashed. Are you absolutely certain that your machine is
completely unresponsive? Can you try Alt+SysRq+REISUB after the crash to
see if the machine reboots?

jaarik - Again, you have identified a different pattern to other people
here. You claim it only happens when your USB hid mouse is used, and you
say the LED's on your keyboard don't blink. As I said to Dylan, are you
absolutely sure this is a hard freeze and not a crashing Xorg? If you
have a spare box, can you still SSH in to the crashed machine?

I'm not saying that you definately aren't all affected by the same
issue, but from having a glance through, I think there could be multiple
issues here. As this bug report grows and grows, its going to get more
difficult for developers to solve.

For other people wanting to add 'me too' on this report, please bare in
mind that although your symptoms are the same, it may not be the same
issue.
