Bug Description

Using the Ubuntu Gutsy amd64 version (on a single core Athlon64 3000+), an ati radeon 9200 (128MB) (using the opensource driver) and an Asus k8v-x motherboard during last days I've experienced more than one crash: the Xserver freezes and in seconds restarts, bringing me back to GDM screen.
Syslog reports this issue:

The Hardy Heron kernel was recently uploaded for testing. We'd really appreciate it if you could try testing with this newer kernel and verify if this issue still exists. Unfortunately, the Hardy Heron Alpha1 LiveCD was released with the older 2.6.22 kernel. You'll have to manually install the newer Hardy Heron kernel in order to test. This should not be the case for Alpha2. However, here are the instructions to install (if you choose to do so):

1) edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted

2) sudo apt-get update
3) sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.24-1-generic
4) reboot and select the new kernel from the grub menu

After you've tested, please feel free to revert back - ie boot into the old kernel, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-1-generic, and remove the line from /etc/apt/sources.list . Please update this report with your results. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for answering!
I must say that after the last kernel upgrade (2.6.22-14-generic) the
problem *seems* to have disappeared. I'll upgrade the bug report as soon
as possible.
Anyway, I'm going to try the .24 and see what happens.
Thank you!
Stefano
