Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic

Once or twice a day my brand new acer aspire 3820TG with latest Maverick kernel hangs at random time (caps lock flashing). I have found the following traces in syslog:
The memory should be OK, it seems to be a kernel bug.
Exert from syslog:

It seems that this bug is somehow connected to the ath9k wireless driver. It is not appearing when wireless is disabled. I will try to build a driver from compat section of linux wireless and report if it will do the trick.

Recompiled ath9k and disabled AHCI HDD mode in bios (known Bug #539467).

No more freezes for now.

Please make sure this issue exists with the latest lts-backport-maverick kernel currently in -proposed. This kernel contains the most up-to-date set of patches for the 2.6.35 kernel.

Once you test with the -proposed kernel and if the issue still exists, set the status of this bug back to "Confirmed".

Thanks for the help.

I can confirm this bug still exists. I'm running linux-image-2.6.35-30-generic and I have experienced the same crash (BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff00000080) 4 times in the last 2 days. I have a Asus U35JC laptop.

I started sharing internet from eth0 to wlan0 with UbuntuAdhoc. Could this be related to the crash?
