Comment 15 for bug 908335

Jmadero. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I installed the 3.2.1 kernel image from the link you pointed me to. The machine booted to console not the desktop as I guess my Nvidia drivers were not available and therefore the x config is wrong.

I logged in to the shell but after about 2 minutes the system hung again. Booting away from my docked station appeared to work with no problems. Problem still there.

I had previously tried disabling the docking station's Ethernet port and also booting with the wireless networking disabled (as a post above suggested that Realtek network hardware might be a problem - although I'm pretty sure my Dell e6400 has Intel WiFi hardware). Disabling both still caused 11.10 Ubuntu with kernel 3.0.0-15 to hang.

As I said before the odd thing about this behaviour is that I can use 11.10 all day with zero problems running 3.0.0-15, but as soon as it is docked I experience these hard lock-ups.
