Comment 49 for bug 479296

In my view, the fact that this bug has been reported manually makes it more difficult to identify the culprits. More specifically, the issues described in my original report are quite general, and leave ample room both to interpretations, and to a series of other issues that may well be triggered by different culprits. In turn, this has become an issue report (not different from a forum exchange), rather than a bug report, for the bug itself is rather difficult to pinpoint, and some digging is necessary.

This was one thing I wanted to clarify before the following: I have been experiencing a series of other freezes that led me to report a number of other bugs. At first, it didn't occur to me to see similarities between them, but the comments of other users left me wondering whether these freezes are similar indeed, and whether the root cause of them all is a kernel problem.

Apport reported those bugs with my laptop model [IBM 1834RTG], but as I understand it this is not hardware-specific. If anyone is interested and is experiencing the same problems, please visit the following pages and comment accordingly: Bug #485108, Bug #488673.

 Many thanks in advance!
