A bad news/good news kind of result. The bad news: the 2.4.25-1 kernel also freezes like the 2.4.24 one, in my case still when the machine gets too hot, it seems.
The good news: the machine seems to run a bit cooler with this kernel, and I can't make the wakeups-per-second peak the way it so easily did with earlier kernels as I described above. The i915 driver no longer shows up at all as a cause of wakeups. I can still provoke the kernel to lock up, but I have to really work at it - I could play through most of one round of "Desktop Tower Defense" (which really pushes this machine) before it locked up. With the 2.6.24 kernel I could just about start one game before the machine died. So for what it's worth, this kernel is a big improvement on both the Hardy and Gutsy kernels, heat wise, but the lockup issue is still there for me. -- Hardy kernel causes overheating https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
