randallw, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from

Jason, I have the same problem on a Samsung X360. It *was* only occurring on battery mode, but recently it has started occurring when I'm plugged as well. Linux niflino 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 02:41:37 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux I've just set the nolapic_timer in my

Hi Jason, That is interesting. Just so we're 100% clear: your hard-lockup is still related to APIC bios/kernel options, right? So you can avoid the lockups like me by using the nolapic_timer kernel command-line option or by disabling APIC? Does your laptop use some sort of CPU frequency scaling

I have traced this down to only occurring while in battery mode on my Samsung X360. It occurs seemingly random, but it is accompanied by a hard drive spindown. I have had this issue since 9.04. Currently the only workaround that reduces the probability of a hard lockup is setting: hdparm -S 0

An update: I have been experimenting with kernel command-line params for APIC. Adding noapic make no difference- you still get all CPUs appearing and it still crashes after a few minutes. Adding nolapic has the same effect as disabling APIC in the bios: the system is stable, but you only get 1

This is the output of dmesg when the APIC option in the bios is enabled (default) about 10 seconds before it crashed. ** Attachment added: dmesg2.txt https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/659705/+attachment/1690209/+files/dmesg2.txt -- hard lock (hang) after a few minutes

Here is the dmesg output for the mainline kernel 2.6.32-0206322410-generic. This also hangs, although it wasn't an immediate hard lockup. First the input from the usb keyboard seemed to die (mouse still worked). I tried switching to a text terminal to grab output, but it had hung by the time I got

Here is the mainline kernel dmesg output with the APIC option disabled in the bios. Seems stable again (using it now), but again only 1 core of 4 core CPU. ** Attachment added: dmesg_mainline1_noapic.txt

This is the dmesg output that contains some interesting errors, however the system hung many seconds after the errors appeared in the log. In all cases, I am doing a tail -f /var/log/messages and nothing ever appears immediately before the system hangs. So the errors that appear in this log might
