[Bug 653238] Re: maverick kernel 2.6.35-22 panics when booting on Dell Precision T3500

[Avi Carmi]

I have the same identical problem as Matt (and Trigger, see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/659149).

Same DELL Precision T3500

there is a new A08 BIOS dated 9/17/10 available from Dell, which I'll
install as soon as I am done posting.

however... found this too in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16228

I'll have to recall how to apply patches and compile the kernel, last
time I've done it was years ago RHEL 5 or  6, so spoiled now by Ubuntu


found this yet in another thread:  https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/647043/comments/14

which has a link to a patched test kernel, with the same list of
patches:
