Comment 66 for bug 279186

I have been getting the same error for some time - I continue to boot from the last working version of the amd64 kernel (2.6.24-21). Whenever I do try and boot from the latest kernel version (currently a 2.6.27-11) I get the following error at boot:
  PANIC: early exception 0e rip 10:ffffffff8022d611 error 0 cr2 ffffffffffffff5fc0f0

I had hoped that a subsequent kernel update would resolve it but it never has, so I continue to boot from the .24 kernel. My BIOS is details are as follows:

# dmidecode 2.9
SMBIOS 2.3 present.
35 structures occupying 1479 bytes.
Table at 0x000F0000.

Handle 0x0000, DMI type 0, 20 bytes

Is there any workaround or resolution to this issue?
Many thanks
