From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040404 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: Frequently when i logout out the screen will turn all white and the machine will lockup. ctl-alt-delete or anything else will not reboot the system. I have to do a hard poweroff to bring the machine down. What logs would you like and would you like me to try to capture more info using strace? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.5-1.321 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.logout 2. 3. Actual Results: screen turn white and machine locks up Expected Results: machine terminates normally Additional info:
Created attachment 99596 [details] dmesg is attached
All files updated for test 3. My laptop still crashes often when logging out or restarting. It feels like it is related to networking some how in that if i browse the internet and the browser sits a site and never completely loads and i close the browser, that process seems to not abort. Another symptom is that leaving my laptop running for long periods of time then logging out the screen will just turn white and lockup. How can I trap info about this bug to send??
This also happens on my HP laptop - anytime that X shuts down, the machine crashes hard, requiring a power cycle. I even have to disable the Red Hat Graphic Boot or I cannot even get to the X login screen. If there is anything I can try, please let me know.
I had the same problem on my ASUS L8400L laptop. The solution proposed here http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121953 worked just fine for me. I've ugraded to kernel-2.6.6-1.370 (since I couldn't find build 347) and the problem is gone. Note that the file /var/log/gdm/:0.log on my machine contained the line "EE) VESA(0): vm86() syscall generated signal 11" as in the bugreport above.
I upgraded to Fedora Core 2 (final), with kernel 2.6.6-1.358, and the problem is solved for me as well. Thanks.
