THIS IS NOT THE KERNEL WITH THE PROBLEM; CANNOT BOOT ANY KERNEL WITH THE PROBLEM.

lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release: 12.04

apt-cache policy linux-image-generic
linux-image-generic:
  Installed: 3.2.0.21.23

When booting Alienware m17x with Precise beta (updated twice a day), all versions of kernel after 3.2.0-17 (3.2.0-18 through -21, 3.3.0-999 dailies, 3.3.0rc7precise, 3.4.0rc1precise) panic about 7 seconds into the boot sequence. I, instead, expect linux to boot. -17 boots cleanly every time on the same hardware.

Managed to capture a photograph of the stack trace. Photo and background available at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11813173&postcount=14

The trace is

The actual stack traces for 3.3 and 3.4 kernels are different; all the versions of 3.2 produce similar traces to that given.

The following commands were run on the -17 kernel listed so they are NOT from the kernel exhibiting the error. The kernels exhibiting the error cannot be booted. 

Installed versions of kernel (all but first have the error)

Comment 1 Brian C. Ladd 2012-04-05 17:05:53 UTC
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.
Comment 2 David Runge 2012-04-23 10:42:58 UTC
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
Comment 3 Alan 2012-09-04 11:23:20 UTC
Should be fixed as of Ben Hutching's May 14th patches
