I never got dmesg output, and never saw the panics in any log files. But today I finally hooked up a serial console and captured the kernel panic output.
I've attached the logs from two different kernel panics. Since originally posting this message, I believe I've narrowed it down to "wireless activity". If I use WiFi, the more general WiFi activity going on near me the more likely a kernel panic becomes. This week I was in a room with 100 people all trying to use WiFi, and my machine would panic in only a minute or two. If I use WiFi at home where there's little activity it stays up for a long time, and if I use wired network or my CDMA card it is absolutely stable. I saw some kcrypt stuff in the trace, so I think I should mention: my root partition is encrypted, using the Intrepid "alternate installer" encrypted root partition support. My home encryption is encrypted too; I'm running a ZFS-on-FUSE filesystem on there. I'd be happy to answer any questions you like, and it's pretty easy for me to generate fresh kernel panics at work, so let me know what more I can do to help kill this bug. In the meantime, I have a workaround that seems to do the trick: turn off WiFi using the laptop's hard WiFi kill switch. ** Attachment added: "Kernel panic log #1" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17995003/larry.hastings.kernel.panic.1.txt -- Kernel panics when using 8.10 on Thinkpad T61p in docking station https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272241 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
