Comment 30 for bug 984387

Having the same issue with a Dell Precision M4400. The weird thing is that I can get Ubuntu to install, everything works fine for a few days, and then I get the Kernel Panic. At first I needed a Linux box up and running quickly and didn't have time to debug so I reinstalled 12.04 (I used the alternate dvd both times) and the same result...it worked for a full day, as soon as I shut it down and tried to start it again this morning I got Kernel panic.

I tried to blacklist the module in grub and then booting to then follow the instructions on comment #6 but no luck. I then tried booting using a LiveCD, mounted the partition, and created the file on comment # 6 but when I rebooted I had the same problem. I just started working on this so I'll keep digging around, see what I can find, and report anything useful.
