Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.10 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

I sure will try that. Think ill do resetup on friday evening. Just Fyi, im on Archlinux now on Kernel 3.9 without any trouble, so a failure of the hardware can be excluded from the run. Thank you for your support and any inconvenience

Ok i found the trouble:

Since Kernel 3.8.x the Broadcom drivers, that are recommended by additional drivers cause the kernel panics. Simce i have a 14e4 4315 chipset (Broadcom 4312) card, i needed to install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer by hand. This solved my crashes. Just waas a bit tricky as i never had that in 3.6 or 3.5 kernels, where i could use the shown proprietary drivers

Bug can be closed or marked as solved even though i dont know, what in the broadcom proprietary driver causes the panic

I had no problems with my broadcom card in the last year or two, but I just got this Kernel Panic not syncing fatal exception in interrupt error, this was awhile after running the updates.

Now it won't boot up Ubuntu - I managed to get it to boot Ubuntu 10 livecd, and checked memory to be ok. I booted the Mac OS partition that came with it, and the graphics were smaller resolution in the top left of the screen, and messed up.

I wonder if this is related to hardware failure, this was on an older macbook.
