[Bug 599174] [NEW] Frequent kernel panics after switching to Lucid (netbook)

[Daniil K.]

Public bug reported:

I'm running on an Asus Eee PC 1005HA netbook, with an Intel Atom
processor (1.66GHz) with 1GB of RAM.

After running on Jaunty for a year, I decided it's time to switch to
Lucid. I did a clean install, erasing my old partitions. During the
install, the installer froze twice (keyboard/mouse unresponsive, display
not changing). After getting through the installer, everything worked
fine for a week, then I attempted to install a few Perl modules (through
CPAN). Suddenly, my computer would start hard-locking at random
intervals. Sometimes during module installation, other times during
simple browsing. It happens completely randomly, many times a day, but I
have no way to induce it purposefully. I asked on IRC, and was told
about the Magic SysRQ. During the last lock, I tried the reboot sequence
(Alt+SysRQ+REISUB), but to no avail, it was hopelessly locked, which I'm
assuming means a kernel panic has occured (I have no NumLock/ScrollLock
lights to confirm that).

I don't know what other debugging info I can provide, because I don't
have a serial console to see what the kernel is panicking with (if it
is).

I've tried reinstalling Lucid, but the problem remains. What can I do?
