It would be interesting if going back to 2.6.38 is a temp fix for you. I know you'd tried older kernels before but... As someone else mentioned, you can certainly report it. However, it would be very helpful if you can get the panic information. I know it's difficult with X hanging and needing X to reproduce the problem but SSHing to the machine and/or a netconsole might allow something to be seen. And the panic information would likely be quite illuminating. > > Thanks very much for the link. At least it is not just me and they know > about it now. Yes, though hearing from more than one person with the issue might help get it solved quicker. There may be similarities between your machines that point he finger at a certain area...
