Comment 89 for bug 585765

Just adding a note that this affects me as well. Importance seems like it should be pretty high.

Random freezes often occurring (minutes) after a default 10.04 install on an Asus 1201N, 32bit, apt-get upgrade'd all including 2.6.31-22, ext4, nvidia ION, Atom 330 dual-core, 2GB system with all on-board components active via bios settings (webcam, wireless, LAN, card-reader, USB controllers, etc) running latest ASUS 3.26 bios, NOT using nvidia proprietary drivers, and networking via the realtek wireless.

System is essentially unusable.

Note: running 'sudo powertop' will freeze it every time.

Seems kernel related (apparently kernel panic; caps-lock LED blinking), and perhaps related to acquiring of hardware stats/ACPI, although using the built-in LAN (wireless off) seemed to help, where on wireless, system froze in minutes; on built-in LAN, system ran fairly stable. Perhaps removal of HAL in 10.04 is not quite baked?

No logs to add; typing this from win7 factory install (dual boot).

Thanks in advance for any resolution on this issue. My former eee 901 with 9.10 was rock solid and would love to continue running 10.04 on my new fancy machine :) Will try the 'noapic nolapic acpi=off' options since that may help.
