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
