Update: blacklisting ite-cir seems to fix the problem: Ran echo "blacklist ite-cir" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ite-cir.conf sudo depmod -a 3.2.0-21-generic sudo update-initramfs -u -k 3.2.0-21-generic For each of the affected kernels through 3.2.0-22 and was able to consistently warmboot and coldboot. 3.3.0 and 3.4.0 dailies have an additional, probably unrelated, crash later on in the boot sequence. I can confirm this on a Dell XPS 1340 and kernel >3.2.7 blacklisting ite_cir fixed the kernel panic issue for me. There is a related bug report for this on Archlinux: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29240 I'm glad I don't need the infrared stuff Should be fixed as of Ben Hutching's May 14th patches |
