Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Bug #1087967 also looks related (lots of i915 messages, culminating in "Error: Driver 'i915' is already registered, aborting...", an oops in register_ftrace_event, and random malfunction thereafter).

As suggested in #1087967 deleting the /lib/modules/3.5.0-20-generic/kernel/ubuntu/i915/i915_hsw.ko solves the problem.

We believe we found the root cause and I've uploaded a test kernel that will fix the issue. You can download the test kernel here:

http://people.canonical.com/~henrix/lp1087622/

There are 2 versions, one for amd64 (64bits) and other for i386 (32bits). Please give it a try to see if it solves the problem and, if possible, report back with a dmesg. Remember to install, at least, the linux-image-* and the linux-image-extra-* packages. Thanks.
