Kernel Panic with new kernel-2.6.10-3 when logging in

[Jonathan Lozinski]

Since updating the new kernel the system kernel panics when logging in,
somewhere during the session init. The following message is in the console at
this time:

Kernel Panic - note syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

This does not happen when gdm is waiting for log-in, so seems to be unrelated to
the nvidia driver within this kernel. Possible causes are dbus/hal related..
Unfortunately I can't tell what seems to be the problem, and being a kernel
panic getting data out is a problem. For information which may help reproducing:

Dell Lattitude C840
pcmcia wireless
3com h/w eth1
nvidia driver 1.0-6629-

hangs when logging in, in particular just when logging into Gaim, which may help
with identifying what steps. Panel applets include:
Blogging Applet
Dict
Weather
User-Switch
Timer
3 network monitors
clock
sound
batstat
notification area
menus, taskbar, icons and window switcher too.

Hope this is all you need, if there's other info you want, then let me know.

For your information, using the 2.6.10-2 kernel instead on boot does not have
this problem, so definitely linked to the kernel issue.

Thanks.

kernel issue, reassigning to the kernel. gnome-session is only used after the
gdm login.

New release should be coming out soon that fixes this.
