Crossover office creates uninterruptible process after kernel upgrade

Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15

When upgrading from 2.6.15-28.55-amd64-generic to 28.57 it appears my Crossover now causes / creates a kernel error.

After start Word, and clicking File->Open, Word freezes. When I kill the process, it become uninterruptible. Later this causes other processes to uninterruptible (Nautilus) which causes issues accessing my FAT32 partition.

The only way to fix this is through a reboot to clear those uninterruptible processes.

I can attach a log report of the Crossover / Wine debug session that I sent to Codeweavers. It doesn't appear to be their issue though, but a kernel issue (from other research on the net).

Can I roll back to 28.55? How?

If you boot your pc press ESC if you see the loading grub. There you can select the kernel which will be bootet.
There is als a newer kernel available: linux-image-2.6.15-29-amd64-generic

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this linux-source-2.6.15 kernel bug to the new "linux" package. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Also, if you would be interested in testing the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release, it is available at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Please let us know your results. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.
