Public bug reported: This bug doesn't seem to occur much but it does it randomly. Often when I am just doing day-to-day tasks on the machine (Firefox open, maybe 3 or 4 terminals), playing music, etc..
The machine will lock up anywhere between 10 seconds to a minute (depending on how many of these soft lockups occur.) I'm running: Edgy 6.10 linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic (2.6.17.1-10.34) SMP AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ 2 gig RAM I'm not sure, but I *think* it might be the madwifi driver. I'm using a Netgear wireless card with an Atheros chipset on it. 02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC ( rev 01) I really didn't notice these lockups until I installed the card. I wonder if it could be related? ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#1! https://launchpad.net/bugs/84045 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
