I built a test kernel with the patch posted in comment 5. Thanks for the pointer, Alok!
Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug? It can be downloaded from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1622894/ With this kernel, you need to install both the linux-image and linux- image-extra .deb packages. -- 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/1630774 Title: kernel invalid opcode in intel_powerclamp Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux source package in Yakkety: Triaged Bug description: kernel error on VMware Fusion when booting to graphical login invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: ipmi_msghandler intel_powerclamp coretemp crct10dif_pclmul crc32_pclmul ghash_clmulni_intel vmw_balloon aesni_intel aes_x86_64 lrw glue_helper ablk_helper cryptd intel_rapl_perf joydev input_leds serio_raw snd_ens1371 snd_ac97_codec gameport ac97_bus snd_pcm binfmt_misc snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event snd_rawmidi uvcvideo videobuf2_vmalloc videobuf2_memops videobuf2_v4l2 videobuf2_core videodev media snd_seq btusb btrtl btbcm snd_seq_device btintel snd_timer bluetooth snd soundcore shpchp i2c_piix4 vmw_vmci nfit floppy(+) mac_hid parport_pc ppdev lp parport ip_tables x_tables autofs4 hid_generic usbhid hid psmouse vmwgfx ttm drm_kms_helper syscopyarea sysfillrect sysimgblt fb_sys_fops drm ahci libahci e1000 mptspi mptscsih mptbase scsi_transport_spi pata_acpi fjes CPU: 0 PID: 806 Comm: kidle_inject/0 Not tainted 4.8.0-19-generic #21-Ubuntu Hardware name: VMware, Inc.
