I hope that those who find they need to reboot because of the freeze have at least tried RSEIUB , if used correctly it can prevent filesystem damage here is a link to how its used.. http://techpatterns.com/forums/about911.html I have noticed that `intel_reg_dumper`, which is available as part of the xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg package reveals the register that is being changed when the freeze occurs, running it before and after the crash and using sudo intel_reg_dumper > reg_good.txt before the crash and sudo intel_reg_dumper > reg_bad.txt after the crash from a ssh session to the sick machine and then doing sudo diff reg_good.txt reg_reg_bad.txt will show the register that is changing . diff reg_good.txt reg_bad.txt 140c140 < (II): MI_MODE: 0x00000200 --- > (II): MI_MODE: 0x00000000 and then wirech...@wirechief-laptop:~$ cat reg_bad.txt |grep MI_MODE (II): MI_MODE: 0x00000000 wirech...@wirechief-laptop:~$ cat reg_good.txt |grep MI_MODE (II): MI_MODE: 0x00000200 I am reading in other bug reports this is the common indication that the freeze issue has occurred.
