Dear all, I've been experiencing this with recent versions of xf86-driver-ati, currently running 6.12.2 on a Thinkpad T40. I believe it is caused by the video driver, apologies in advance if it isn't. I'm running a Gentoo system with kernel 2.6.28-tuxonice, it has happened with an older version of the kernel as well.
This kernel panic happens consistently whenever I'm issuing a system shutdown from gdm. What happens is that the system switches to console mode and starts shutting down various daemons, then invoking a kernel panic. This is particularly bothering because it happens before the filesystems get a chance to properly flush their journals... bear in mind that this is a mobile system so it gets shutdown fairly often. I can work around this glitch if I manually shift to console mode (Ctrl-Alt-F1), login and invoke shutdown from the command line. Also, switching back and forth between console and X modes seems to work fine. Here are a couple of snapshots showing the tail of the panic trace. Let me know if you need more information (I'm a complete newbie when it comes to deciphering panic messages). http://play.cs.berkeley.edu/~arnold/kernel-panic/ Thanks for your help.
