[Bug 149639] Re: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task
I just had this same issue today :-( I downloaded the 64 bit version of ubuntu 9.04 and tried loading live CD and full install on a machine with an AMD Athlon 64. Both brought me to this screen. Thought you might like to know. I just grabbed my old 8.10 install disk - 32 bit :-( - and it works like a charm. -- Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug was reported a while ago but there hasn't been any recent comments or updates. And I can not tell if this is an kernel-related or hardware-related issue. If anyone has this issue. please test with lastest Jaunty kernel and see if the issue still exist.

Hi again, One extra bit of information: with the Intrepid Ibex Beta 1, either after selecting the "Try out this CD without installing" or the "Install Kubuntu" option, and just before the Kubuntu splash screen appears, there is message shown on the top of the screen. The message reads "ACPI: unable to load the system description tables". -- Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 149639] Re: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task
Hi, I have just tried the Beta 1 of Intrepid Ibex, and the problem still happens. I am even unable to complete an installation, because the kernel panics and the computer just freezes. So it seems that kernel 2.6.27 is also affected by this problem. As I mentioned before, Edgy runs fine, so the problem was introduced with recent kernels. Something ACPI related, perhaps? -- Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 149639] Re: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task
The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback. ** Tags added: cft-2.6.27 -- Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Dario, Sorry for the delayed response. When running the latest Hardy kernel, can you attach either a digital photo of the panic or the dmesg output which captures it?

The Hardy Heron Alpha series is currently under development and contains an updated version of the kernel. It would be helpful if you could test the latest Hardy Alpha release: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD. If you can, please verify if this bug still exists or not and report back your results.

Could the problem be GCC related?

[Bug 149639] Re: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task
Okay, I left the Edgy live-CD running for some 20 hours straight: I played with most applications, and I left it overnight running IO intensive tasks on the console. And guess what: it never panicked. Also, two nights ago I left system running memcheck overnight, and there were no errors reported. I think it is safe to conclude that the problem isn't hardware. Important things to take into account: 1) Debian Etch and Lenny are also affected; 2) I know Edgy runs fine; however, since I never upgraded to Feisty, there's a chance the problem began there, I just don't know. Now, I have access to another machine running Gutsy, and I can use to to cross-compile (different arch) new kernels to try out.

Can you use an Edgy (or other suspected working) live-CD and verify that it still works fine.

[Bug 149639] Re: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task
I compiled a new kernel "the Debian way". The only thing I ended up changing was the architecture: I set it to K7. The compilation process itself was painful, because gcc kept segfaulting and every now and then the kernel would panic. On top of that, the new kernel wouldn't even boot: it produced one of those "not syncing" panics in the first steps of the boot process. I can never over-emphasise this point enough: Edgy worked fine! Something must have changed between Edgy and Feisty/Gutsy that is making my system so unstable. Did you guys change any of the default gcc options, for instance? -- Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149639 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
