[Bug 1202998] Re: kernel panic when updating
** Description changed: Every time I update ubuntu 13.10 using sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade, my pc freezes with a kernel panic: trying to kill init. The error code is ff00. So far this has happened 4 or 5 times, always when installing updates. + + WORKAROUND: Use default kernel parameters (e.g. remove init=/sbin/e4rat- + preload ).

I cannot install any new software, since dpkg got interrupted mid- upgrade and calling 'dpkg --configure -a' triggers the kernel panic.

Redmar, you wouldn't necessarily have to reinstall Ubuntu.

[Bug 1202998] Re: kernel panic when updating
It looks like the panic only occurs when updating libc6. I found this out because usually after the panic, I run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and I can continue the update, but since the last panic dpkg starts by configuring libc6, and then the panic occurs again. So at this point, the panic is 100% reproducable, but I cannot install any new software. If there is any way to collect more information about the panic, please tell me. If not, I'll re-install ubuntu and try the mainline rc3 kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202998 Title: kernel panic when updating To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1202998/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1202998] Re: kernel panic when updating
Looks like a correction is in order, I just had a kernel panic while running the mainline kernel. While the problem always occurs while updating, it does not occur on every update, so it's hard to reproduce.

Redmar, thank you for testing the mainline kernel. The next step would be to find the earliest upstream kernel version that fixed your problem (reverse mainline kernel version bisect).

[Bug 1202998] Re: kernel panic when updating
Redmar, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the kernel in the mainline kernels archive directory daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc1 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags: kernel-unable-to-test-upstream kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.
