kernel panic - no syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

Hello,

I have a laptop Lenovo G560 with Intel Graphics, after I made the last update I rebooted the laptop, everything looks fine till login, after I type my credentials and I hit enter I get that strange error. If I try to login in backend in the console everything looks fine.
The second strange thing is that I thought that I made something wrong when I updated the system and I have reinstalled the system which was installed 8 months ago and the error still persists with clean install, what I have installed after was, Firefox, Thunderbird, Pidgin, Skype and chromium, what I have opened was only Thunderbird and Firefox.

I have attached a picture with the complete error.

Thank you in advance,
Vally.

No one else has this problem?

This looks like a kernel bug (probably related to the Broadcom wifi card you appear to be using). I'd first compile the latest kernel from git, and if it keeps failing, ask in the kernel mailing list.

I'm not sure if is from broadcam, I have reinstalled my system but this time I installed gnome instead of kde and so far I don't get any error.

Yes, after 2 hours the error has appeared again, I will try to compile the kernel from git.

Thank you, I will let you know the result.

Oke Pse, an older kernel 3.9.9-1 seems to do the trick, in conclusion the last version of kenel 3.10.7-1 is bugged, I will wait other new versions, I don't know if this tread can be marked as solved if the problem still persists on that kernel.

Your error message indicates your broadcom card is to blame.
Take a look at this thread :
