Details
After updating linux from 3.18.6-1 to 3.19.2-1 my Surface
Pro 1 hangs when I start the web browser (tested with
firefox and chromium), or when I suspend it with 'systemctl
suspend'. No error messages, the tablet hangs and I have to
shutdown pressing the power button for several seconds. I've
also noticed other random hangs, for example launching
onboard, or writing in gnome-terminal or an email with
thunderbird.
I'm almost sure that this problem is related with the wifi card (Marvell USB8797), I've tested to disable it with 'rmmod xhci_pci' and the hangs have disappeared. This card has never worked well, see this bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69661 However, this is a new bug, and downgrading to 3.18.6-1 solves it. I include the journal of a hang. I power on at 00:19, open firefox (then the Surface hangs), press the power button until it poweroff, and then restarted 5 minutes later. http://pastebin.com/5sidB3yT I'm not sure if this information could be of interest. |

I'm not sure if both problems are related
