The exact same thing happens to me as well.

Odd does it do it using a different kernel? Try the ck-generic one from my repo or build it yourself from the AUR.

falconindy · 2011-10-23 14:09:13

The wl module is the cause of this -- seems specific to 3.0.7. Rebuild the module and see if that helps. Otherwise, I encourage you to see if bcma/brcmsmac works for your hardware.

Yes, it is indeed broadcom-wl. I added "blacklist wl" to my /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf so that brcmsmac could handle the wifi card instead of broadcom-wl.

#
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
blacklist b43
blacklist ssb
blacklist bcma
blacklist wl

It is fixed for me now. As stated here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless, it seems we should avoid this broadcom-wl driver.

Does using the updated broadcom-wl package file you problem? See the AUR page.

Possible workaround to get past the kernel panic is to edit kernel boot params by adding:

modprobe.blacklist=wl

semog · 2011-10-23 15:40:34

i blacklist wl and it works i can boot now but i have

0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b] (rev 01)

and the brcmsmac wont work on my laptop so how can i have internet i try to install broadcom-wl again and the same problem happen again

Blacklisting the module, then loading 'wl' *after* the system is fully booted seems to avoid a panic for me. Besides starting it manually, I haven't found a place to load it yet that will not result in a panic (i.e. rc.local.)

I experienced the panic when updating broadcom-wl to 5.100.82.111-1, from 5.100.82.38-6, before *and* after updating the kernel from 3.0.6-2 to 3.0.7-1 and rebuilding the driver. So I'm not sure this is an issue with 3.0.7-1, but rather the wl driver itself.

I noticed the AUR PKGBUILD has a patch related to semaphores, which I don't remember being in previous versions. I'll have to try building without it and see if the issue goes away.

Same here. This is my first kernel panic in Arch Linux and I'm also in panic.

I didn't know how to boot into Arch until i see the blacklisting "modprobe.blacklist=wl" . Thanks.

Mr. Graysky thanks for your work, but maybe is a good idea some testing before releasing your packages.

mgzpac · 2011-10-25 23:19:19

I thought Broadcom open-sourced their drivers? Did they only release a few of them or have they just not been integrated into the kernel yet? It is somewhat annoying always rebuilding this package.

daroczig · 2011-10-26 09:55:53

Exactly same problem here (aka: subsrcibe) with broadcom-wl-ck-corei7 from repo-ck

Only workaround was to disable the wl module (first by kernel parameter to be able to boot, later in modprobe.conf), and now I do not have wifi access.
Unfortunatelly I cannot get bcma/brcmsmac to work with `43:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4353] (rev 01)`, so waiting for a newer version of the package which will fix this issue I hope.

Problem solved.

Upgrade to Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA driver v5.100.82.112

daroczig · 2011-10-26 13:44:05

@ontobelli: that package needs the default linux kernel, so it is not working with kernel-ck if I am right

@ontobelli: you are right, I was not enough specific. I am using `linux-ck-corei7`, which needs `broadcom-wl-ck-corei7` from the repo-ck.

Your suggested package in AUR works (I assume) with kernel-ck (generic) or with stock kernel, but not with CPU specific ck builds (e.g.: `kernel-ck-corei7`).

daroczig · 2011-10-26 14:19:23

Err, nevermind: `broadcom-wl-ck-core2-5.100.82.112-1` from the ck repo is just being downloaded and installed to my system

Package "broadcom-wl-ck" could be compiled for CPU specific optimizations.

You need to edit "/etc/makepkg.conf" and change the gcc flags like this.

CFLAGS="-march=corei7 -mtune=corei7 -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"
CXXFLAGS="-march=corei7 -mtune=corei7 -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"

And then compile with the command "makepkg -csi" in the directory you unpack the zip and that's all.

daroczig · 2011-10-26 19:06:19

Thank you @ontobelli, that is really useful. I really appreciate your kind support.

manzdagratiano · 2011-10-27 14:17:03

Uh wuz trapped wid duh same issue and thought uh'd debug later, but you's guys came to teh rescue as usual - uh blacklisted wl by chrooting from Ubuntu and then rebooted safely; try modprobe wl and kernel panic agin.... so reboot and install older version of broadcom with makepkg -s; and then install newer AUR version an' remove teh blacklist. (I don't think I can carry on that language any longer!). Thank you!

The broadcom card on my computer has been a morbid source of many a trepidation, but then again, it is thanks to this card that I have learned a plethora of ways around the innards of the system - setting up a new system from within a chroot since the card would not work with a new install, etc etc.
