Public bug reported:

# Issue

* System lock-ups are experienced after upgrading to linux-
image-2.6.32-32-generic-pae from linux-image-2.6.32-31-generic-pae

* Issue only affects PAE kernel when running with non-pae kernel the
issue is not seen

## Environment

Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS x86

On Lenovo models:
W510
T410
T500
X201

* All systems have 4gb of ram
* All systems use the PAE kernel

## Resolution

* (workaround) Revert to linux-image-2.6.32-31-generic-pae
* (workaround) Revert to linux-image-2.6.32-32-generic

## Diagnostic Steps

* Lockups happen at random, system is non-responsive to network pings and no 
console logs are displayed
* Can be triggered by applications that probe the network and hardware (asset 
collection)

## Other information

* If freeze does not occur directly, one CPU core goes up to 100% and/or
memory consuption increases linearly until memory is depleated

* Additional tests carried out on the T410 (PASS/FAIL indicate if system 
crashes are experienced during testing):
2.6.38-10-PAE (linux-image-generic-pae-lts-backport-natty from lucid-proposed): 
PASS
2.6.35-30-PAE (linux-image-generic-pae-lts-backport-maverick): FAIL
2.6.32-33-PAE (lucid-proposed): FAIL
