Bug Description

I've radon blacklisted through a conf file in modprobe.d directory
Inside a X session I've modprobe radeon. No problem here
Then I've echoed OFF to /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch. No problem here
Radeon card was off according cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch and lspci | grep VGA (ff present for radeon). Also fan stopped a while after.
Then I've suspended. Ok here.
Resumed again with no problem.
Then I've echoed OFF to /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch. No problem here BUT
card seemed not being turned off. cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch showed the radeon as off, but
lspci | grep VGA doesn't showed the ff at the end.
So I tried to power ON the radeon card again (in order to turn it off then), and I've gotten the kernel "oops"

Anton, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. 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? Can you try 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 run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

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

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. 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 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.

Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.
