Public bug reported: Lately my notebook has been doing a watchdog reset effectively killing the desktop session and brutally landing in a busybox session. These are usually the last lines in kern.log when that happens:
Mar 28 21:50:35 taco kernel: [ 174.090910] wl0: PSM microcode watchdog fired at 146 (seconds). Resetting. Mar 28 21:50:35 taco kernel: [ 174.090914] wlc_dpc : PSM Watchdog, chipid 0xa8d9, chiprev 0x1 Sometimes the system does some more logging before the kernel dies but most often not.
