[Bug 732667] New: openSUSE freezes randomly

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=732667 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=732667#c0 Summary: openSUSE freezes randomly Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: christian.wansart@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; de) Presto/2.9.168 Version/11.52 On my Netbook, an ASUS EeePC 1201T openSUSE freezes randomly. I tried different apps trying to find out which application may cause the freeze. I tried KDE, Gnome, openSUSE 11.4 and 12.1 without any success. Sometimes it runs hours and sometimes only a few minutes. It freezes and I can't do anything except for hard reboot. Alt+Print+B doesn't work, Ctrl+F1 doesn't work either... I checked the Netbook for around 13 hours with memtest86+ without any warning about a broken RAM. I ran the Netbook for almost a day without any problems so I think it might be problem with the Kernel but I'm not sure where to start the search for informations. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn on and wait Actual Results: The complete Netbook freezes and I can't do anything. Expected Results: It shouldn't freeze. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Now it works again. No freeze. It also fixed the hibernate/standby problem. (With the 3.x Kernel, hibernate and standby led to a freeze too.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The problem started with the 3.x Kernel which I tried out on my openSUSE 11.4 system last year. I tried it because I heard that it contained the wifi drivers for the EeePC 1201T. I'm not sure what the exact version it was, but I'm sure it was lower than 3.1. Even with the latest kernel 3.1.9-1.4.1 it doesn't work. I use the desktop variant, since "default" doesn't contain my wifi driver. I didn't test if the default kernel freezes my system too. (I'm afraid it will damage my HDD again.)

I compiled the (vanilla) kernels 2.6.38.8, 2.6.39.4, 3.0.20 and 3.1. The last one caused my notebook to freeze. The ones before didn't freeze my notebook. So it has to be something that was added with Kernel 3.1. This is how I compiled the sources:
make localmodconfig make -j2 all sudo make modules_install install cd /boot && sudo /sbin/mkinitrd
I'd try to analyze this problem further, but I have no idea how to continue without any error output like a kernel panic. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I tested Kernel 3.1, 3.2, 3.3-rc2 and 3.3-rc3. Only with Kernel 3.1 the problem still occurs. At least, the problem didn't occur yet and I hope that's final. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Both kernel versions have random freeze (SysRq keys don't work) that needs hard reset. Previously used osuse 11.4 and didn't had this problem. Nothing usually is running when the freezes happen. I have "Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection" LAN controller and "Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205" network Controller.
