http://unix.stackexchange.com – I'm having trouble using any relatively new binary distro on this machine. The last binary distro to work without issue was Ubuntu 8.04. I'm currently using Gentoo with the latest 3.2.1 kernel and its working fine with all peripherals functional. I was using Gentoo before (since I've always had this problem) but I decided I was tired of configuring everything myself and waiting for things to compile all the time. I tried installing Linux Mint 12, Fedora 16 and Debian Squeeze all with the same results, the kernel panics. It seems to happen more frequently when waking the notebook up or whe (HowTos)

Since kernel 3.3.x there are frequent kernel panics during the boot process. It seems to be a kernel problem since I downgraded to 3.0 and the problems are gone.

The kernel panics happen almost at every boot attempt. After 4 or 5 restarts the system boots normally. It also seems to affect only Sandy Bridge systems, and maybe Ivy Bridge too.

Last kernel I checked was 3.4.9 with the same results.

I'm fed up with the outdatedness of the Foresight iso (can't install it on my system because of the kernel), and I want to start my own distro.

The Gentoo developers, through Robin H. Johnson, proudly announced yesterday (April 1st) the immediate availability for download of the Gentoo Linux 12.1 operating system.

In a discussion on backwards-compatibility in Linux kernel and GUI ABIs, Alan Cox notes that "my 3.6rc kernel will still run a Rogue binary built in 1992.

I am currently running Ubuntu 12.10. Both in 12.04, and 12.10, I have been noticing random Kernel Panics that seem to happen only when I am not using the laptop.

I went to follow the guide for getting the crash dump, but after a simulated crash (using sysreq c), /var/crash is empty.

I should have mentioned in my op that I am running Statler. I went ahead and updated from the 2.xx kernel to the 3.xx kernel. I then installed the atheros firmware and the athk9 installer and ran it. After a reboot my network was there. Im completely new to this distro and was under the impression that Statler is the stable release. Is that true or is waldorf the latest stable?

Hello,

I'm experiencing random kernel panics during Kubuntu 12.04 boot (by the way, 11.10 also had this problem). It seems to occur only when I turn on my laptop for the first time, as far as I remember the problem never manifested itself when I reboot (properly). But if the kernel panics, it can take quite a few reboots to finally boot the system.
