Setting this to Incomplete for now.

It's been over a week os constant use without any issues, so I'm closing as Invalid as agreed.

I would recommend you keep the bug open for a couple of weeks whilst you test the system thoroughly to assure yourself this is indeed the permanent fix. Once you're satisfed change the bug status to Invalid (since it wasn't a bug with Ubunt/Linux) and add a comment confirming the solution. -- BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325238 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 325238] Re: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request
Felipe, I've spent about an hour examining the log-files and reports. Everything points to a (intermittent) hardware problem. I'm inclined to think it could be something causing a memory-mapping issue right now, but that is just a guess with no evidence to point to. Here's some things you can do to try and narrow the cause down in order of difficulty: 1. Don't use the VESA framebuffer device - I think it is a module in Hardy so you may have to remove it from the initial ram-disk as well as removing vga=0x031b from the kernel command-line at boot-time. 2. Add debug to the kernel command-line to capture more detail about the boot process in /var/log/kern.log 3. Reset BIOS to factory defaults. 4. Remove each memory module, give the contacts a wipe with rubbing alcohol or fine wet'n'dry paper and replace them firmly 5. Strip the system down to the barest possible hardware and use a live- CD. (remove additional video adaptors, non-critical PCI adapters, hard disks, etc). 6. If (5) results in a stable system that doesn't exhibit the problem, add devices back in one-by-one and boot from the live-CD after each addition. If the problem recurs after such a step you've pin-pointed the cause and proceed to figuring out a solution. -- BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325238 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 325238] Re: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request
For the record, TJ also gave me more tips on IRC: since it looks like a conflict between the onboard video adapter (intel) and the external pci-e adapter (nvidia), check for BIOS video configuration. I found it, and it was checked to auto. After reset BIOS to factory defaults, I chose the PCI-e instead of AUTO, and... it worked! Thank you very much for the tip! After that, I changed it back to AUTO, and it worked also. I'm in the process of re-installing the nvidia blobs (which I purged in the middle of testing frenzy last month), and later will try the good old sarge install, but it looks like TJ was right about the BIOS config resetting. It even works with the vesa config (vga=0x031b) present, so I consider this fixed for me. Should I post any other tests?

Also, not only /var didn't get mounted, all non-root filesystems didn't. This includes /home (also lvm) and /boot (non-lvm). I'm guessing this is because of script crashes in the init process due to the bug. -- BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325238 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 325238] Re: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request
A new symptom appeared, and gave me the hint to work around the problem well enough in order to boot the system: The nvidia card failed to be recognized temporarily, forcing me to plug the monitor into the onboard video output (intel motherboard, i810 video driver). When I removed the nvidia video card (7300 GT), the kernel just booted. After logging in, I was greeted with three warnings from apport, two from the 2.6.24-23 kernel, and one from 2.6.24-22. I let apport open a bug report for two of them, one for -22 and one for -23, and marked both as duplicates of this bug. Maybe there are other information there that might help identify what's going on here, but at least now I can boot and work. ** Also affects: nvidia-drivers-ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325238 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
