Kernel panics on boot on Dell Inspiron Inspiron 7548?

Elephant454 · 2015-08-06 21:58:55

Hello. I am getting kernel panics when booting on Dell Inspiron Inspiron 7548? I can get it to boot after a few tries, but sometimes it takes a while. It is a tedious process, and I was also wondering if it could be indicating some more serious problem. What should I post so I can begin to get help? Thank you.

Details about your setup: MBR or UEFI, single or dual boot, kernel version (and does downgrading/changing the kernel result in a non-panic boot?), anything in dmesg, etc...

See: How To Ask Questions The Smart Way for more pointers.

UEFI, but I am using Legacy Mode. Triple boot, with Windows (in UEFI mode, and therefore Unbootable), Ubuntu, and Arch. I am using kernel version 4.1.3-1, and I have always had this problem regardless of kernel version. My dmesg is at http://pastebin.com/LsFBNWmz. Sorry for taking a day to respond.

I have the same model of DELL as yours and I suffer since I installed Arch Linux (about the end of january of this year) of the same problem as you. I have the Legacy mode of boot, with only Arch Linux. I still have not figured out what is the source of it, even if I think it is linked with the GPUs. I tried almost anything I had in mind: tried to load the drivers for the Intel HD 5500 first, then those for the Radeon R7 M265 and vice versa, but apparently nothing changes. Sometimes I need to reboot at least three times before to get the whole thing work.
