I got this bug while trying to upgrade my motherboard to an ASUS M5N, with a bottom-of-the-line AMD X2. Updating my BIOS fixed the issue.
This, or something with identical symptoms, was discussed on the Linux kernel mailing list about a year ago: <http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0612.2/0101.html> There it was concluded that it was caused by commit b0268726, and patches were proposed. I'm not sure if anything ever came of it. -- Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/54621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
