[Solved]Kernel panic while upgrade to 3.6.4

jim1960 · 2012-10-29 16:36:23

Kernel 3.6.4 ([Testing] 3.6.4-ARCH & linux-ck-kx 3.6.4) panic:
PANIC: early exception of rip 10:fffffff81042e36 error 0 cr2 0

It's work fine for linux-ck-kx-3.6.3-2, any idea?

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 651 Quad-Core Processor (651K)
M/B: Asrock A55 Pro3 (BIOS v1.3)

/***
* Upgrade to 3.6.5 solved the issues!

Some google hits (not sure about their applicability to you):

I have the same problem. It will boot after adding mem=4G to grub.

CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II P960 Quad-Core Processor

The same problem with linux-mainline-3.7rc2, but 3.7rc3 work again.
So i think it's kernel bug.

I seem to have been hit by the same problem, thanks for the 'mem=4G' tip jqxl0205, I only have half my 8GB showing up, but at least I can boot to research it some more.

Not a solution, or even a workaround as such, but as it's a slight emergency:- anyone having the same problem, once at your GRUB menu press 'e', with the required kernel in selection, then add the line 'mem=4G' to the end on the boot line, press ctrl-X, and it will temporarily use this to boot for now.

I'm having this same issue. I thought it was weird that a guest arch vm would boot but not the host... guest has much less ram. I could try the mem=4G kernel option, but my machine has 16gb of ram... I hope there's a more permanent fix soon.

Just upgrade to 3.6.4 from 3.6.3 and it appears I am experiencing the same issue with an AMD Turion II Neo K626. When I boot it just hangs on "Booting Kernel", so I went into syslinux and used "mem=3G" and my laptop booted right up. I have 4GB of RAM, though when I try anything higher then 3G it failes to boot, unless I use M instead of G, ex 3500M it boots a little bit further but still hangs.

Anyone with Intel CPUs experiencing this issue? It seems to only be effecting AMD machines.

I upgrade to 3.6.4 in laptop asus with 8 gb ram, and stop in: "Loading initial ramdisk ...", i try mkinitcpio -p linux and... pacman -U linux***3.6.3 and... no start... continue stop in: "Loading initial ramdisk ..."
Greetings.

Same problem with new kernel 3.6.4-1-ARCH ..The boot got stuck at loading initial ramdisk.. From this post i placed the option mem=4G in grub.conf. It booted and everything is fine.. but my ram is now only 4G.. Are there any fix for this bug...

sinatosk · 2012-10-31 16:04:24

Just upgraded to 3.6.4-1-ARCH and it just sits there doing nothng on loading init ramdisk

I see no error or anything

AMD Bulldozer 8150 not overclocked

Coellobranco & gibz85, what CPUs are you guys running? As of right now I only know of two ways to fix the issue; follow jqxl0205 advice and add mem=xG (Replace x with how much memory, ex 4G), or downgrade your kernel using the steps in the Arch Wiki.

coellobranco · 2012-10-31 16:21:49

my cpu is AMD Quad-Core A6-3420M APU, in my netbook acer, linux 3.6.4 roolz perfect.

flrichar · 2012-10-31 17:00:55

I see a pattern emerging. My cpu is an AMD A8-3870, quad core 3ghz.

coellobranco, how much memory does your netbook have?

I think to recreate it, you need > 8gb mem, and a recent AMD cpu.

Netbook acer aspire one, 1gb ram... upgrade correct.

tsw80 · 2012-10-31 17:29:12

Same problem, both with ARCH and ck kernels. Have to use mem=4G to boot.

CPU: AMD A6-3420M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics, 8Gb ram.

flrichar · 2012-10-31 18:02:50

Someone filed a bug and I mentioned this thread.

coellobranco · 2012-10-31 19:45:02

I try with mem=4G and dont start... after pulse "e"... where line edit for: mem=4G???

linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=06e1fc9b-dd0d-4c71-b16f-42d2a27a5e5f ro mem=4G

there u have it.. if it still don't work, try a bit lower, 3G or something.

coellobranco · 2012-10-31 20:19:47

OKKK..,... is OK... with mem=4G start system...thanks!

coellobranco · 2012-10-31 20:39:06

Now.. dont detect eth0, and dont start X...

flrichar · 2012-10-31 20:40:59

I successfully booted with mem=4G as well and downgraded to 3.6.3-1 until they find a fix ...

TripWire · 2012-10-31 22:27:39

I just miss 60GB of memory now.

muffinss · 2012-10-31 22:33:13

I had this happen to me last night. Figured I'll just do a fresh install since I have all my stuff backed up. Did a fresh install and still getting stuck at "Loading inital ramdisk ..."

I'm running an AMD Phenom II x4 965 with 8gb of Gskill ram.

I just noticed 3.6.5 got released today as stable on kernel.org. Does it fix this issue?

Also, my other two machines that run Intel and have 8gb of ram are not suffering this issue. They boot up and operate just fine with the latest update.

Marked out of date already on repo... just gotta wait now...

hopefully it fixes this issue... I want my 16GB RAM

I've downgraded to 3.6.3-1 for now

Mine cpu

AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-Core Processor

Anything more than mem=4gb wont work for me.. I have 16gb installed.. Guess i will be downgrading now
