Bug Description

The my ubuntu 10.04 installation is upgraded from 9.10 release. There is not such problem in past 9.10 release.

The whole operation system may be hang up three or more times in one week, "hang up" means the responses of keyboard and mice would turn slowly and slowly, and lost all their responses finally, and I could hear disk is very busy at this time. I tried to disable some unused services first, for example, postfix, kernel-nfs-server and so on, unfortunately, "hang up" still occurs sometimes.

In the last "hang up", I try to wait more time to inspect what happens in system, I switched console interface after disk was turn to busy suddenly (in this time, keyboard and mice is almost hard to response), I saw some "out of memory" words in console.

BTW: I use Radeon HD 3200 Graphic , closed source driver "fglrx" driver, is it buggy? Anyway, I switched to open source driver now.

The attachment is kernel log of crashed boot.

Thanks!

Li Yu, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested and remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the text:
needs-upstream-testing

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

Li Yu, do you need a backport to a release prior to Precise, or may we mark this report Status Invalid?
