I guess i will attempt to test your patch since you are so invested in working on it. I honestly had just given up and decided to live with the freezing as i had heard it was more of a hardware bug.
I am now running Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak. The kernels have gotten better over time and i dont experience freezes nearly as much as i used to, but they are still there. Currently i am running this kernel: Linux dell-Inspiron-3451 4.8.0-30-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Dec 2 03:43:27 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I will try to do as you suggest and remove my current kernel and replace it with your dropbox patched kernel. I will report back when i can. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575467 Title: [Dell Inspiron 3451] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1297 at /build/linux-lts- utopic-vy2yyy/linux-lts- utopic-3.16.0/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c:1743 vlv_wait_port_ready+0x126/0x170 [i915]() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1575467/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
