Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx AMD64 Nvidia 195 Current freeze hang randomly
Problem: The current driver fails on some Systems with default kernel 2.6.32
Solution:
- go http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/
- download kernel images for your System and headers into a folder named kernel
- go into folder kernel with #cd kernel
- install pakets with #sudo dpkg -i *.deb
- reboot
- if Xserver fails select “start Xserver with low resolution”
- go Systemsettings/Hardware Drivers
- select Nvidia-Current install again
- reboot and test the System
Background: ACPI was renewed inside the kernel, cause at startup kernel echos
“ACPI: resource piix4_smbus [0xb00-0xb07] conflicts with ACPI region SOR1 [0x000b00-0x000b0f" with 2.6.32
now:
"ACPI: resource piix4_smbus [io 0x0b00-0x0b07] conflicts with ACPI region SOR1 [dma 2816-2831 pref disabled]”
(patched Kernel 2.6.34)
