I updated it when I initially had problems with CPU Frequency scaling. I'll check. Kernel.. still debugging with the Ubuntu one, but will try a fresh vanilla one when I get free time (not needing the machine for work). I've tried booting with init=/bin/sh to drop me into the initrd of the system, then grabbed an acpidump when booting on battery. It was the same as AC. Manually bootstrapping the root file-system, (not via normal init), allowed me to play about with what might cause the lockup, and it seems that it may be related to the Intel wireless driver: ipw3945. When I loaded it, it failed to find firmware - no crash. (I'd not got udev running to help hotplug the firmware for it). I loaded udev, and re-tried loading the wireless. Appologies that this crash dump is a type-up, I think the key points should be here - no time-stamps, but a full trace is listed. [ loading ipw3945 module via modprobe ] ... [ Detects ] [ Prints module copyright ] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:08:00.00[A] -> GSI16 (level,low) -> IRQ 169 ipw3945: Detected .... 3945ABG .... BUG: Soft lockup ...
