I'm using 2.6.37-1.dmz.2-liquorix-686 in my Dell Inspiron 1317 laptop which has 4G RAM but for some other reasons i am running a 32Bit distro-linuxmint 10.

After 20-30 mins the keyboaed freezes. keystrokes are irregular and erratic. Some letters do get down. When i try to type the screen flickers too.

I donot have any such problem with the default kernel used in the distro 2.6.35-22-generic or the older liquorix kernel 2.6.36 from which i upgraded.

Also during boot a error message is displayed (i googled and found that it is displayed in all systems without hardware encryption/decryption...whatever that is) .but continues to boot successfully. Plymouth is garbled. (i dont mind these but i thought you should know).

All other devices are working as intended. I have no problem with my mouse (trackpad and usb mouse) during these freezes.

i just installed the distro yesterday and the kernel today (24th Feb).

In the worst case i'll like to revert back to the 2.6.36 version of the kernel but i noticed that it disappeared from synaptic. How do i get it back?.

thanks for any help.

please make sure to post technical details, like what OS you are using when posting issue reports, otherwise people have to ask.

A good way is to install inxi, then show: inxi -F
output, that will show pretty much all the user information required.

This could be a USB bug too. I'll be uploading 2.6.37-2.dmz.1 which reverts some bad patches from 2.6.37.1.

Had another freeze on the latest kernel 2.6.37-2.dmz.1-liquorix just now. Older version is fine though.
There should be some system log or crash report or something.
The thing is,how do i access that?
so that i can post it here.

I removed whatever could be causing freezes for my last few revisions. If you're still having freezes then I can't help if there's no kernel oops to give me a hint of what might be causing it.

Running dmesg might help or give you early indications of something wrong.

okay guys. I'll post the dmesg if possible, as the keyboard gets totally crapped out.
Thanks.
i'll check this out in my other Dell XPS15 too. Just to make sure that my notebook isnt broken and let you guys know how that goes.

I am also getting this on a dell N5030 but ONLY after the machine wakes back up from a suspend. Some keystrokes are lost and some register and the screen flashes repeatedly as I type. The only thing I can do is reboot, which means that the suspend function is effectively useless :(
