Hi everyone,
I turned on my laptop to find it had become broken somehow. The screen
during boot up (and in console) has unusual intermittent lines that
appeared around some text. And when I tried to start X, it kernel
panics. I was able to get the following output from dmesg before it
died: http://pastebin.ca/544532
That is not a panic AFAICT. It's a softlockup warning -- the kernel is
probably still alive.
Try booting with the NMI on, and see if you do actually get a panic.
What OS are you using, and what kernel version?
Although that looks like a driver issue, I can only assume my graphics
card is borked.
Don't assume that the card is hosed -- it could very well be a driver issue.
