just to add, linux-image-2.6.17-8-generic works fine for me, the breakage only occurs with the -9 kernel

[tamasrs (tamasrs)]

Same here, 64bit AMD 248 2x VIA Chipset.
No log..
linux-image-2.6.17-8-generic works fine

TRS.

Screen shot :)

just to confirm that the screenshot the exact same panic i get on my amd64-k8 chip

[Jose Bernardo (bernardo-bandos)]

Seems the same panic I get on my AMD64 (MSI NEO K8T 2 motherboard, VIA K8 chipset).

[NoWhereMan (e.vacchi) (uncommonnonsense)]

while the problem is probably different (no 64bit processor here) I still get the error reported here https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/61848 with this -9 update, so this kernel build(s) must be buggy

[Helmut Duregger (helmutduregger)]

I have the same panic, also on AMD64 (MSI NEO K8T 2 motherboard, VIA K8 chipset, AMI BIOS).

linux-image-2.6.17-7-generic works fine aswell.

[Quim Calpe (quimcalpe)]

Same here, but with a AMD XP 2200+, so no 64bit processor here. The same happened with 2.6.17-8-generic kernel, I just waited for the new kernel update(2.6.17-9-generic), but it crashes the same way.

Kernel linux-image-2.6.17-7-generic works fine thought...

[NoWhereMan (e.vacchi) (uncommonnonsense)]

@quim calpe: is the kernel panic you get the one linked here, or the message is more like the one in https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/61848 ? in this case add a comment there, too

at least i'm not alone...

[Quim Calpe (quimcalpe)]

@NoWhereMan: You are right, the kernel panic I'm getting is almost the same as you posted in 61848, so I'm Going to comment there also.

linux-image-2.6.17-9-generic_amd64 on MSI K8TM: same kernel panic. Seems to be another issue with the infamous Via-based-chipset K8T mobo's...?

[tamasrs (tamasrs)]

linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic is out and working, khmmm, but no fglrx (agp port problem... i guess)

TRS

[Helmut Duregger (helmutduregger)]

linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic works for me too.

I get this now though:

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached its end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
