I suffered from the hard freeze in 3.17 & 3.18. http://linux.slashdot.org/stor... Anyone happen to know if it's been resolved in 4.0?

I don 't know whether to feel pissed or special (or both), but I've been experiencing this lockup on my lowly little Arch box. (Reverting to a previous kernel always clears it up.) I couldn't find anything in the Arch forums about it, so I appreciate being kept abreast of it here! :)

Linux 3.18 Released, Lockup Bug Still Present 106

jones_supa writes As anticipated, Linus Torvalds officially released Linux 3.18. The new version is now out there, though that nasty lockup issue has still yet to be resolved. Dave Jones is nearing the end of dissecting the issue, but since it also affects Linux 3.17 and not too many people seem to get hit by the lockups, Linus Torvalds decided to go ahead and do the 3.18 release on schedule. Linus was also concerned that dragging out the 3.18 release would then complicate the Linux 3.19 merge window due to the holidays later this month. Now the Linux 3.19 kernel merge window is open for two weeks of exciting changes.
