[Bug 712082] Re: Random kernel panic during boot on a Dell Inspiron 1520

2011-02-05 Thread Scott Lavender
I have had almost consistent kernel panics during boot, probably four
out of five boots results in kernel panic.

It was difficult trying to ascertain when the panic occurred because
from the visual cues.  Sometimes it would result in text on the screen
and sometimes not, but always with a hard locked system and flashing
caps/scroll lock.  Sometimes it would panic before the grub menu,
sometimes directly after the grub menu.  Sometimes grub would go to the
menu, other times it would skip the menu.

However, I focused on the kernel.

persia suggested that I start with a Maverick install, replace natty for
maverick in my /etc/apt/sources.list, and selectively upgrade using
aptitude excluding the kernel.  Then I could download from Launchpad and
install each kernel available for Natty in order to find the offending
kernel.

Unfortunately, even excluding the linux kernel update I found that my
new Natty install still suffered from kernel panic at the same rate.  I
attempted updating using aptitude twice with the same results.

For my third attempt I decided to exclude grub packages in addition to the 
kernel packages.  These are the packages that I did NOT update/add to an 
updated Maverick installation:
 * linux-headers-2.6.38-1
 * linux-headers-2.6.38-1-generic
 * linux-image-2.6.38-1-generic
 * grub-common
 * grub-pc
 * linux-firmware
 * linux-generic
 * linux-headers-generic
 * linux-image-generic

As noted above, everything list was previously excluded from my two hand
updates, with the except of the two grub packages, which resulted in
continued kernel panics.

After the third update my computer experienced a single panic directly
after rebooting from the update but hasn't panicked since.  I now have
almost ten reboots without problems.

Therefore I wonder if grub could be at least partially responsible for
the intermittent kernel panics.

If anyone would like me to attach any logs or reports to this bug report
please let me know.  I'll keep the machine as is for several days and
continue to test the reboots for panic problems.
