[Bug 651370] Re: ec2 kernel crash invalid opcode 0000 [#1]

[Brandon Black]

Having the same issue on c1.xlarge in us-east-1 (kernel crash on boot
related to intel_idle).  I've booted the Maverick release AMI several
times on m1.large instances fine, but I seem to have a 50%+ failure rate
getting it to initially boot without crashing on c1.xlarge.  You're
going to need to roll new AMIs when/if this bug is fixed, because the
failure means inability boot far enough to get the kernel upgraded in
the first place.

FWIW, I'm only even trying Maverick because of the unresolved kernel
issues with Lucid on EC2 that have been hard to pin down (divide by zero
panics in network-related areas of the kernel, apparent disk i/o lockups
triggered by runaway CPU load triggered by apt somehow, etc...).  What's
going on with kernels on EC2?  Is anyone at Ubuntu actually testing
them?
