I have not been able to load 12.04 either Ubuntu or Xubuntu after kernel 3.2.0.19. I have done a complete check of hardware and firmware and all test normal. All Gigabyte and Intel updates are current. </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in">About Tuesday or Wednesday a kernel update came down with other updates, those updates were applied, and from that point on, up to including the kernel built by the kernel team on this date (Mar, 24) System fails (See attached photo ) what appears to me to be kernel panic. ( I downloaded the </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in">3.3.13.-030213 kernel and installed today thinking that may correct the problem. It did not.</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in">I was still concerned that I had a hardware problem, rechecked every last thing I know to check, and proved hardware functioning normally. I then recalled that Fadora 17 alpha is using 3.3 kernel downloaded and it runs normally on the machine. </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in">This all leads me to believe that this is an issue you may be interested in having feedback on.</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in">I am including a jpg photo of the last screen of output before lockup. ( if there is a log created at that point I have not been able to locate it). </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in">I am able to load the system with the older kernel ( currently at 3.2.0-17 due to the fact I reinstalled after the first crash thinking it was a hardware failure as in a bad disk. That disk is running in a different machine now running another OS. Therefor I used a install disk from March 1 12.04 that I had downloaded and had available, to reinstall Ubuntu 12.04, hence the kernel 3.2.0-17. I assure you all was running normally up to and including kernel 3.2.0-19.</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in">I am including a screen shot of the boot directory and the photo of the screen output .</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in">Please note: I also downloaded the latest daily and lastest available live. They both crash with the same output. If you need more specific details on the hardware please advise. I can supply it.<br></p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in">Best Wishes and I hope somehow this helps.</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in">J Cord (<a href="mailto:j7cord@gmail.com">j7cord@gmail.com</a></p><p style="margin-bottom:0in">P.S. I just finished a build of an I3 2125 with the intel graphics 3000 the live version Ubuntu 12.04 loaded to desktop just as would be expected . Must just be an issue with I7 chip ( I am sure you already know that though). Best Wishes and Good Luck.<br> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in"><br> </p>
