The released 2.6.32-43-generic kernel crashed after about 5 hours uptime while the corresponding compat-wireless package was not also installed. So I think that this validates the hypothesis that the determining factor is the presence of the compat-wireless package (i.e. whether or not newer ath9k

I have now purged all -43 and -44 kernels (i.e. the released -43 kernel and all test kernels v1 through v5), then reinstalled the released -43 kernel, and also pulled in the compat-wireless package for -43. After rebooting the machine has stayed up overnight. Luis and I both had a theory about

After looking into /var/log/apt/ logs (provided privately), it was verified that the initial installation of kernel linux- image-2.6.32-43-generic had failed, and this may be causing troubles. I suggested Jan to purge this kernel (and any other kernel installed after this failure) and try again

I can now explain one class of differences between the modules loaded under -42 versus -44. I am using the compat-wireless package, a version of which does not yet exist for the -44 kernel (or at least: I hadn't installed it). The two ath9k-related modules which are not being loaded under -44 but

Hi Jan, the only reason I can think of to have those FS-related modules load is that you installed a kernel, i.e., running dpkg -i kernel- image.deb will eventually cause the load of all these modules. If you reboot again, the modules shouldn't be automatically loaded again. -- You received

v4 seems to behave similarly to v3: it also crashed after many hours, i.e. after a longer period than the released -43 package and the v1 and v2 packages did. But it still crashed. Once again I'm back on -42. I think I now need to stay on this package for a couple of days just to make sure that

v3 has stayed up overnight, which leads me to suspect that it is GOOD. I can't be categorical about this you understand: if it freezes it is certain to be bad, but if it doesn't it might merely not yet have crashed. So I'll leave it running and report back tomorrow. -- You received this bug

Right. I'm glad I qualified my previous statement. It crashed after about 20 hours, which is much longer than than it took v1 and v2 to crash before. Could be coincidence, who knows. Going back to the -42.96 package now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu
