Thanks for testing! There are two commits in v4.0 that may be the fix: d0af71a tg3: Hold tp->lock before calling tg3_halt() from tg3_init_one() 20d14a5 tg3: move init/deinit from open/close to probe/remove
I built a Vivid test kernel with a cherry-pick of these two commits. It can be downloaded from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1428111/ Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug? Note that you will need to install both the linux-image and linux-image- extra .deb packages. ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Vivid) Importance: High Status: Confirmed ** Tags added: vivid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1428111 Title: Kernel crash on Dell Latitude 5530 (tg3 driver involved) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Vivid: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading from Ubuntu 14.10 to 15.04 the system is not starting anymore. After disabling the splash screen I get lots of Error messages on the console. The system is unresponsive. Kernel 3.16 runs without problems. So does 3.19 on another system without Broadcom LAN- adapter. "screenshot" is attached. The error occures before entering the password for Luks-encryption. So it's very likely, it still doing initrd-stuff ...
