Thanks Jeremy. I tested against both linux-image-2.6.35-999-generic_2.6.35-999.201006111153_amd64 and linux-image-2.6.32-02063209-generic_2.6.32-02063209_amd64. The bug is gone on both!!
Now I have a couple of questions:
- will the 2.6.32 mainline kernel eventually make it into lucid-proposed?
- if not, how can I help to locate the moment when the fix was introduced so you can port that fix into lucid?
Attached is also a config diff between the crashy current kernel and the mainline kernel. As far as I can tell the only module present in the current lucid kernel that is likely to have an impact is:
> CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_ALSA_SUPPORT=y
would it be helpful for me to build a kernel without thinkpad alsa support (a pointer to the recommended build method would be very helpful -- things have changed a lot since I last built an ubuntu kernel)? And would i likely lose the ability to use the onboard soundcard on my laptop, which is a thinkpad?
