Public bug reported: After upgrading to linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic last week (karmic- updates repository enabled), all of our Gateway E4300 machines end with a segmentation fault instead of shutting down properly and completely. Several other models of hardware are unaffected. This is consistently observed across several hundred machines.
The 2.6.31-21.59 changelog includes this: * clockevents: Prevent clockevent_devices list corruption on cpu hotplug - LP: #509730 Reverting to linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic prevents the problem, as does booting with nolapic (but you lose SMP, or hyperthreading in the case of the E4300). Also, rebooting does not exhibit the problem, only halt. This appears to be the same or a nearly identical bug reported in the last few months in other distros: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312767 http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2010-02/msg01527.html https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15005 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=558231 But this is a new regression for Ubuntu. On the screen the message begins (hand transcribed by someone else): * Stopping early crypto disks... ...done. * Will now halt ---------[ cut here]---------------------- ... kernel BUG at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.31/kernell/time/clockevents.c:262 ... invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP and ends with: ...
