Description Jonathan Dray 2009-01-17 10:18:55 UTC 
Latest working kernel version: 2.6.29-rc1
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.29-rc2
Distribution: Debian unstable / experimental
Hardware Environment: Asus M51VR Laptop  
Software Environment: Debian unstable with xorg 7.4 / server 1.5 / gnome
Problem Description:

I get a kernel panic when booting on a 2.6.29-rc2 kernel with the same configuration as a previously compiled 2.6.29-rc1 kernel.
The 2.6.29-rc1 boots fine but I get a kernel panic message with the 2.6.29-rc2. 
I'm sure you'll need more information, but I don't know how to proceed to search the cause of the issue.

Steps to reproduce:
Comment 1 Andrew Morton 2009-01-17 11:16:19 UTC 
We'll need to see the panic output, please.  Either:

- take a photo and attach it to this report or

- use netconsole (Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt) or

- type it in :(

Thanks.

Comment 3 Jonathan Dray 2009-01-19 15:08:25 UTC 
I uploaded a picture of the boot screen with the kernel panic lines.
Please let me know if you can clearly see the information or if you need me to type it in.

Hi,

I added 2.6.29-rc3 to the kernel versions list as I get a the same kernel panic screen with this new version.
Comment 5 Zhang Rui 2010-02-21 06:20:10 UTC 
does the problem still exists in the latest git kernel, say 2.6.33-rc8?

ooops, sorry for the late reply.

No the problem has been solved with 2.6.30 kernel version and up.
You can close this ticket.

Thanks.
