OK, here are results of the testing: v3.5.7: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.5.7-quantal/ This kernel works OK. v3.6 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6-quantal/ This kernel works OK. v3.7 final: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.7-raring/ This kernel works OK. v3.8-rc1: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8-rc1-raring/ This kernel panics as originally described.
So apparently the problem was introduced at some point after 3.7 final. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1109309 Title: [Dell Studio XPS 1340] nouveau driver causes kernel panic when entering graphics mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1109309/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
