As I was unable to usefully bisect the ubuntu kernel, I tried again with the mainline kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ This gave a much clearer result: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14.37-utopic/ -- works

Hi Christopher, I've tested a few more kernels by compiling the source packages linked from the kernel bisection page. There is NO clear breakage that I'm able to find, instead I see this: linux-image-3.13.0.48.80 - OK (last fully functional kernel) (self-compiled) linux-image-3.13.0.49.81 -

Geoff Williams, the next step is to fully commit bisect from kernel 3.13 to 3.16 in order to identify the last good kernel commit, followed immediately by the first bad one. This will allow for a more expedited analysis of the root cause of your issue. Could you please do this following

Hi Christopher, I've tried the available pre-built packages but there are graps between the binaries and upstream. The early 3.16.0 kernels work for me but with no graphics acceleration, which I think is why they don't crash. It looks like the later builds switch acceleration back on and

Alberto Salvia Novella, thanks for your help. Unfortunately, 3.18.x is painfully old, and not the latest mainline kernel. As well, reporting to bugzilla is legacy (as well as premature), as it is not the preferred method to report bugs to upstream, and the latest mainline kernel has not been
