Checking the referred links it sounds indeed like the following patch is required for the e1000e driver (even or because it is not in use). Seems like it has been asked to be included in 4.2 before release but nothing happened. Did not see it either in Dave Millers most recent stable mbox. I am preparing a test kernel and will update this report with a link once done.

Read systimel twice and check for overflow. If there was no overflow, use the first value. If there was an overflow, read systimeh again and use the second systimel value. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Stefan Bader (smb) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1509929 Title: kernel panic after booting up 4 hours Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to Wily from Vivid, I always meet kernal panic after booting up 4 hours; I use wireless, the Ethernet cable is not connected.
