Description Tethys 2010-10-06 15:23:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
Every so often, my machine will hang. Probably once every two or three
days. I leave my machine on overnight, and will often come into work in
the morning and find myself having to reboot it. Occasionally, it hangs
while I'm using it. The immediate symptoms ar ethe my music player (xmms)
goes silent and the clock (xdaliclock) stops. The mouse cursor still moves,
but everything else is unresponsive. Windows don't take focus when I move
the cursor over them. I can't type anything (nor switch to another VT,
nor even turn on the keyboard LEDs by pressing the NumLock key, for
example). The only option at that point is to reboot (which I can do
using magic SysRq, which seems to be the only key sequence that still
works). Looking at /var/log/messages after the most recent reboot,
I got this logged immediately before the hang:

Oct  6 15:50:53 mrburns kernel: [drm] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: PFIFO_DMA_PUSHER - Ch 1

Very interesting, I suspect that whatever the cause of this is is the same as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609764, but this is the first report I've ever seen on non-GF8+ hardware.

Immediately before the most recent hang, I got this in the log file:

This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2011-06-28 11:55:18 UTC 
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
