[Po-Hsu Lin]

CID: 201010-6646 Dell Inspiron Mini 10

Steps:
1. Install 12.04.1 + update (3.2.0-61), boot to desktop
2. Enable -proposed, update (3.2.0-63.94), reboot

Expected result:
* This system should work with stock Ubuntu and 3.2.0-61 / 3.2.0-63 kernels

Actual result:
* This system works with 12.04.1 stock Ubuntu and its update (3.2.0-61)
* But after step 2, kernal panic occurred right after the Ubuntu splash screen, if you switched to console before this happen, you will see this just happened after the login prompt.

There will be another porposed kernel ready soon (3.2.0-63.95), I will give it a try later.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.15 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.

This issue cannot be reproduced in the latest porposed kernel (3.2.0-63.95)
I will mark this bug as Invalid, thanks!
