[Bug 147464] Re: Heavy network activity (eg: torrent/nfs file transfers) causes Hard System Locks and/or Network Freezes.

[I Kovalev]

I had experienced this problem (system becomes hardlocked during heavy
network transfer) on Toshiba Satellite L4 laptop in Jaunty and Karmic.
Later it turned out there was a hardware fault in one of on-board
inverters. Just have my motherboard replaced and the issue disappeared
completely! No more system hardlocks, neither error messages in system
logs for several days.

Conclusion: while reporting software failure one has to be cautious
about the conditions of hardware. It even worth it to ask a specialist
when possible. These faults are not easily identifiable, and
manifestation can be contr-intuitive.
