Comment 249 for bug 204996

Sorry for posting so many times in a row.

But this time I have solved the freezes, in my case at least. What I did was to create a redistributable & bootable backup dvd with remastersys in case I had to reinstall. Since I gutted the Hardy installation from trying to fix the bug I used the backup for the first time. Only later I realized there were no lockups. It has been stable for 1½ days now. I'll report further some week from now. Present dmesg attached. Still 2.6.24-19-generic.
