Having the same issue with a Dell Precision M4400. The weird thing is that I can get Ubuntu to install, everything works fine for a few days, and then I get the Kernel Panic. At first I needed a Linux box up and running quickly and didn't have time to debug so I reinstalled 12.04 (I used the alternate dvd both times) and the same result...it worked for a full day, as soon as I shut it down and tried to start it again this morning I got Kernel panic.
I tried to blacklist the module in grub and then booting to then follow the instructions on comment #6 but no luck. I then tried booting using a LiveCD, mounted the partition, and created the file on comment # 6 but when I rebooted I had the same problem. I just started working on this so I'll keep digging around, see what I can find, and report anything useful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984387 Title: [Dell Studio XPS 1340,Alienware m17x] Kernel panic with 3.0.0-19 and 3.2.0-18 on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/984387/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
