Kernel panics after loading modules

Hide · 2011-01-10 09:48:34

After an update from a few days ago, my computer started getting kernel panics upon boot (i.e. after "Loading Modules" stage). After a restart (hitting the restart button on the case, obviously), the system boots seamlessly. The weird thing is, it locks up only in the morning, when I first turn it on. No matter how many times I start it later on during the day, everything works just fine. The same behavior as presented in here.

Pacman.log (I'm not sure which of these updates was the problematic one, so I'm pasting both the 2011-01-03 and 2011-01-05 entries):

This is not such a big deal (since a simple reboot solves my problem), but I'm afraid if this behavior might be pointing to a larger hardware issue.

Any help is appreciated :)

Hey. I was just about to make the exact same thread as you did. I'm having the same problem. The first boot of the day will fail, but later boots are OK. Error messages are the same as yours. My problems started 04.01.11, and the only system upgrade I did that day was the following:

[2011-01-04 11:36] upgraded pciutils (3.1.7-1 -> 3.1.7-2)
[2011-01-04 11:36] upgraded udev (164-3 -> 165-1)
[2011-01-04 11:36] upgraded device-mapper (2.02.78-1 -> 2.02.79-1)
[2011-01-04 11:36] upgraded cryptsetup (1.1.3-1 -> 1.2.0-1)
[2011-01-04 11:36] upgraded groff (1.20.1-4 -> 1.21-1)
[2011-01-04 11:36] upgraded lvm2 (2.02.78-1 -> 2.02.79-1)
[2011-01-04 11:36] upgraded pam (1.1.1-2 -> 1.1.3-1)

Maybe this can help narrowing down the search for the troublemaker.

Are you using bfs by any chance? Please, check this thread.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=111197

I have posted a similar picture there, also.

From the picture you posted it seems you are experiencing the bug discussed in the following thread:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=111197

Go there and install the patched UDEV.

I'll rather wait for the official package update. Building my kernel without bfs support now to test first. Cheers!

Please continue in the above thread.

Closing this for duplication.
