Anyone having hard lockups? ATI driver?

[Orion Poplawski]

I've started experiencing hard lockups while running with 
updates-testing enabled.  Happens with kernel 2096 and 2107.  I'm now 
suspecting the ATI xorg driver update and filed 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=190751.  Just 
wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

Yes, on dual opteron w/ i686 kernel. THe problem is the "optimize for
size" option in the kernel config. Recompiling it without theis setting
makes the problem disappear..

Me too, even on a Senprom AMD64 machine with an older ATI Radeon 9250.

Comments at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5781
would likely be more productive than "me-too" postings on this list.
5781 was recently closed "due to the lack of activity".

Ah, that is nVidia FX 5200 graphics.  So far fingers were pointing
at 'radeon' (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5781 is
about radeon driver) or maybe, a bit more general, 'ati'.

Maybe this "optimize for size" is indeed the real culprit?  Tracking
that down can be, ahem, "entertaining".

I just took your advice and reopened that bug.  On my T30, I installed
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/5...
to get dual-head working and I've had random lockups ever since.

I was going to update https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=190751 but
bugzilla.redhat.com is too busy at the moment.
