Description Mike Crecelius 2011-05-23 03:23:55 CEST 
Description of problem:
The system boots and is usable and runs great and then suddenly and randomly makes a black screen.  Please see image attached of the resulting black screen.
I am testing with RC1, but this was also happening with Beta 2.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia RC1.

How reproducible:
Intermittent, I have let the system stay up for few hours and it does not crash, but sometimes after using it for just a few minutes it suddenly crashes.  The driver used is the ATI Radeon X1950 and earlier.
I will try with the VESA driver.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  No particular sequence of mouse or keyboard entry.  Last time it happened I recall I just clicked on something in Firefox.
2.
3.

You're having a kernel bug here :/
Could you copy the content to a file & attach it to the bug report ?
You'll find all the data using dmesg in konsole for example
between the --- cut here ---- & --endof trace --- (or something like that)

The system has not crashed on me again yet, but I have run dmesg > bug_1393.out.  I have attached the entire file from dmesg.

We need it after a crash in fact.
Could you have a look on other logs file like /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kernel/{errors|info|warnings}.log just in case you can find the same bug

Also it seems that you're missing the firmware for your wifi chipset.

Hi,
   I am no longer able to reproduce this.  I have let the system run for a day and have been using it with no crash.  In the past it was very frequent.  Perhaps the updates that I have installed over the last few days have made a difference.  Lets close this bug report, I will open another and send the logs per your instructions if it occurs again.
thanks

Then i'm closing as « worksforme ».
However you just need to reopen this one if you can reproduce
