Bug Description

Asus A6T-AP002H, when nvidia driver are installed and network card is strongly used (especially in upstream), then X hungs up, and I can only hard reboot the machine. After reboot, no trace is left in dmesg output

I am using kubuntu 7.04 beta, but the problem appeared to be even worse in previous kubuntu releases.

Searching for documentation, I found this report for gentoo, maybe it can be useful:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/Talk:HARDWARE_Asus_A6T

In this discussion they say the bug is not reproducible, and actually that is my case. Moreover I can confirm each symptom reported in the section " Strange crashes, maybe a kernel bug (or something with r1000?)"

Finally, at rebooting, grub freezes, and only after a second hard reboot I can have the OS loaded.

This bug makes the machine unstable without reproducibility and strongly affects its capabilities.

Laptop specifications:
Turion TL-50 64x2
RAM 2GB
GeForce 7600
Ethernet Realtek 8168

I hope this helps. If more info is needed, please do not hesitate to contact me

Nvidia binary driver was enabled. Punting form xorg -> linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20 . Setting back to unconfirmed.

Ferox:
If NVRM: Xid is appearing in dmesg (assuming you don't reboot as it is reset on a reboot) or /var/log/messages then I suspect the only people who will be able to help you will be NVIDIA as they are the only ones who can decode what a particular Xid means...

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta?

In Jaunty (9.04) we have dropped the nvidia-graphics-driver-177 package, as
it is superseded by nvidia-graphics-drivers-180.

Because of this, we are closing this bug as expired.

You are encouraged to file your -nvidia bug reports against the
nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 package. Please be aware that because this
is a proprietary graphics driver, the amount of bug support we can
provide at the distro level is very limited.
