Comment 66 for bug 908335

I have two different makes and models of computers running Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS and they are experiencing the same freezing that others are experiencing.

One is a Dell Dimension 4600 and the other is a HP Pavilion 8679F. I know these are old, but previously they both were running 10.04 flawlessly without the freezing.

I use the HP for DNS/DHCP in home and the Dell is my kids' Minecraft server. The HP has little load on it and the Dell is has load when my kids play Minecraft, otherwise it sits there throughout the day while the kids are in school.

I am finding that on average, the freezes/hang state occurs every 24-48 hours. All currents updates have been installed on both machines. I am running the '3.2.0-31-generic-pae' kernel on both machines. I do not run X on either machine, although I installed Xrender on the minecraft server because it complained that Java needed it.

After reading through this thread, I installed the 'linux-crashdump' package on both machines and will report what I get from it the next time this issue happens.

Also, per a previous entry in this thread, I added the kernel parameter 'drm_kms_helper.poll=0' to grub as well. I never had this entry before, so we will see if that has any affect.

In either case, I wanted to inform the relevant parties that this issue persists in the latest LTS release, and it does not matter what your hardware configuration is.
