Comment 1 Joachim Backes 2011-09-14 13:00:08 UTC

The running kernel is: kernel-3.1.0-0.rc5.git0.0.fc16.x86_64. By downgrading to kernel-3.1.0-0.rc4.git0.0.fc16.x86_64, I got rid of these problems.

Thanks to Matej Cepl <mcepl> who gave me the advice to downgrade the kernel.

Comment 2 Mads Kiilerich 2011-09-14 13:17:46 UTC

Can you upload your dmesg with the failing kernel? (run "dmesg > dmesg" and upload the file)

(There is a rc6 kernel in koji, but I think it will show the same issue.)

Comment 3 Joachim Backes 2011-09-14 13:45:23 UTC

In the meantime I installed rc6 from bodhi, and I got rid from this problem too :-) So I think there is no need to upload the messages from rc5.

Comment 4 Matěj Cepl 2011-09-15 05:53:23 UTC

Yes, rc6 helps. Thank you. I guess this could be closed.
