The released 2.6.32-43-generic kernel crashed after about 5 hours uptime while the corresponding compat-wireless package was not also installed. So I think that this validates the hypothesis that the determining factor is the presence of the compat-wireless package (i.e. whether or not newer ath9k code is in use), as opposed to a potentially only partially installed kernel package (I made sure that there were no error messages when I last installed the -43 kernel package).
If anyone's still interested in this issue I guess the next step would be to go back to the -42 kernel package without compat-wireless and so on, as far back as it takes to find the release in which the regression was introduced. But let me say that I've been running this box for some time and have always installed kernel upgrades when they became available (i.e. usually before the corresponding compat-wireless package became available), and I've not seen crashes like this before. Luis, since I seem to be the only person affected by this problem I would not object to closing this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1052861 Title: After upgrade to new kernel version, machine crashes after a few hours of uptime To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1052861/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
