Public bug reported: Whenever I safely remove my external hard drive (NTFS) the computer crashes, and the only way I can get out of it is by rebooting. At first I thought it happened because of something with my vgaswitcheroo setup, becauseI have my ATI card turned off and it crashes, then when turned on, it does not. I thought that was the case until recently I tried it again (with the ATI card turned on), and the OS crashed.
I am assuming this is a kernel bug because I see an "oops" and "panic" sometimes when my computer blurts out the messages (and then finally freezes completely). My hardware are: Laptop Model: MSI-CX420 CPU: Intel Core i3-330M GPU: ATI Radeon 5470 (and the integrated chip of Intel Core i3) Platform: OS: Linux Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit It's my first time reporting a bug (so maybe I missed something here?), and I am no expert in linux (just a frequent user) so I might need a lot of help when it comes to giving the crash dumps and the like.
