Bug Description

Hardy Beta 20080323 Live CD amd64 on Sony Vaio VGN-FE41Z.

RIP [<ffffffff802a75b1>] kmem_cache_free+0x51/0xb0
 RSP <ffffffff8062ceb0>

Kernel panic - Aieee, killing interrrupr handler!

Immediately upon Linux kernel beginning to boot a Kernel Panic occurs. Each time the Call Trace shows a different path, but the commonality appears to be that it is related to an interrupt handler.

Obviously at this early stage there is no log but I've captured two reports as photographs which are attached to this report.

The laptop has been running Gutsy since June 2007 and has also successfully installed a Hardy alpha to a spare partition previously using a LiveCD image.

The checksum of the CD indicates this isn't caused by a CD defect:

$ md5sum -b /dev/scd0
3a20aeaede600303a72ff7553c4c051c */dev/scd0

$ wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20080323/MD5SUMS -qO - | head -n 1

Hi TJ,

Just curious if you've tried booting with noapic or acpi=off? There may also be some other boot option suggestions listed at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingIRQProblems

I haven't seen this in the daily builds since although I'm tempted to think it could be related to bug #191137 to which the work-around is removing the "quiet" kernel boot option.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.
