I tried disabling (via chroot) nvidia in favor of nouveau but that didn't solve.
would you suggest to downgrade as andreagi did?

It seems that we both have a Dell Studio XPS and the issue looks the same too.
3.2.13 fails for me, anyone else?

I have the same: Dell Studio XPS here.

Has anyone taken the leap to 3.3 and had any success?

Just did a fresh netinstall on my Studio XPS. Same issue for me.

Same problem with my XPS1340. Instant death on kernel 3.2.8 to 3.2.13. Will have to revert to 3.2.7 again.
Anyone tried 3.3 from testing with this hardware?

Oh... and is there a bug report? Smells like kernel fuck up.

[EDIT]
Had to chroot and revert some packages... my current stable setup is:
linux 3.2.7-1
nvidia 290.10-3
xorg-server 1.11.4-1
xorg-server-common 1.11.4-1
xf86-input-synaptics 1.5.0-1
xf86-input-evdev 2.6.0-4
xf86-video-vesa 2.3.0-7

Anything above and all breaks to little pieces. Though the latest nvidia driver can be installed it actually screws up with xorg-server.
Something is very broken... and I'm asking myself if it's only the kernel....

The only bug reports I could find so far that seem to describe a similiar problem are listed below:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29063

We should definitely file a bug report on kernel.org for this. Can't be that we're ignoring lots of core packages because of a recession like this...
I'm not quite sure though if it's a kernel problem only....

Could any experienced users please provide more detailed instructions for how to do this?

EDIT: Problem resolved on latest kernel with pcie_aspm=force parameter.

Updated situation:
Kernel 3.3.1 with pcie_aspm=force go on crashing.

Kernel 3.3.1 with acpi=off boots properly but now I have a problem with Nvidia Card, Reading Xorg.0.log I see:

(EE) NVIDIA(0): The interrupt for NVIDIA graphics device PCI:3:0:0
(EE) NVIDIA(0):      appears to be edge-triggered. Please see the COMMON
(EE) NVIDIA(0):      PROBLEMS section in the README for additional information.

After googling I saw I had to add irqpoll parameter to kernel boot, but I hadn't any good result.

wow, that's a letdown
was looking forward to 3.3.1 magically solving my problems.

Might test my setup with no opt-outs over the weekend, but it'll get messy, as I have a lot of ignored packages by now.
Reverting them all in case boot of death will be painful.

So, latest nvidia driver failed to load... did you try any older versions (if possible at all, depency wise)?

edit: Well... just looked it up... would have to stick with nvidia 295.33.... I'm still on 290.10! So I guess I'll skip updating and wasting my time over the weekend
edit2: hm... might as well test 295.40 over the weekend now... lol. I love you open source
edit3: haha, and now this https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29340
edit4: kernel 3.3.2 is in core. Any luck with that? Ath9k bug seems to be fixed now, but I got 15 ignores... would take me half a day to up and downgrade my system....

linux-ck 3.3.2 with nvidia 295.40-2 still goes crashing.
Has anyone tried with stock kernel?

king.flasher.dave · 2012-04-17 15:18:47

Not yet. Might do that over the weekend. Need a running system before that. :>
I don't expect great things from it though. If linux-ck isn't working stock kernel most likely is not going to work either.

So, booting with acpi=off is working, but Nvidia driver is still crashing on load?

It's funny we're all in the same boat. Can't be that it's all XPS related. Current kernel (3.2.7) isn't that stable either... get some random system freezes from time to time...

[edit]
I'm just coming back from testing stock linux-3.3.2-1. It failed.... same kernel panic upon loading modules.
Worked with acpi=off though... then there was nvidia-295.40-2 dying as you can observe in my Xorg.0.log:

This did not work for me and after all is not the source of the problem in my case.
I found it to be the ite_cir module.

So blacklisting the ite_cir module in /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf helped!
If you don't need the infrared stuff, just disable it!

Hope this could be of any help and you might be able to mark this as SOLVED.

I'm gonna try patching 3.3.2 with memblock-zero-len-fix.patch (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=72983)

king.flasher.dave · 2012-04-23 10:33:36

@uastasi: If this is actually the problem for you, try it. I found it to be irrelevant in my case and the module ite_cir being the black sheep messing things up.
Good luck patching!

Works for me too with stock kernel 3.3.2-1.
Thank you king.flasher.dave!

Deathcoltd · 2012-04-28 21:41:19

The blacklisting ITE_CIR module works for me too (Dell XPS 1340), I do not need the IR. So thank you.
I have used kernel 3.2.8, which was the latest functional.

I found an Ubuntu forum, where this is discussed: http://ubuntu.5.n6.nabble.com/Precise-S … 95392.html
According to information there it is due to "an early registration of an ISR during the device probe process.".

Layus · 2012-04-30 16:12:20

Disabling ite_cir worked for me too !

Thanks !
