Kernel panic when watching movies

Hi, I have realized that this happens when I watch some movies but also happens all of a sudden. I have also noticed that this hasn't happened yet if I don't use compiz, here you got the screenshot of what I can see:

Re: Kernel panic when watching movies

I have the same problem... freeze after about 10min of watching video, but only when Compiz is running.

I know it doesn't happen when I boot with 2.6.35.9, it does with 2.6.37 and 2.6.38-rc3 and -rc4.

I use qingy, so my X display is on :1, not :0... perhaps that's why I don't see the panic message you do... all I see is a frozen screen until I hold the power button.

Hi TheAmigo, I don't know exactly what have changed lately in my computer, maybe the latest updates but I don't have the problem anymore, do you still have them?

maybe the kernel doesn't agree with your taste in movies

Re: Kernel panic when watching movies

I've avoided compiz for the last two weeks because I didn't want to risk hanging while troubleshooting other issues.

Today I ran compiz and watched about an hour of video without incident (on a 2.6.38-rc6 kernel).  That's enough to make me thing the problem has gone away.

Re: Kernel panic when watching movies

I got the problems back for a while but then I guess I found the reason of this: dust in my memory cards after a good cleaning the problem is gone .
