You have been subscribed to a public bug: Since updating my Lubuntu 16.10 system (linux-image-4.8.0-37-generic to linux-image-4.8.0-38-generic) the kernel panics as soon as I plug in the Wifi adapter (Edimax EW-7612UAn Wifi USB Adapter). The coredump logs BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference @0000000000000048 IP: [<ffffffffc0786647>] rtl_lps_leave+0x17/0x50 [rtlwifi] PGD 0 Ooops: 0000 [#1] SMP This is followed by the Modules linked in, Hardware info, Stack trace. At the end of the trace it says: Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt.
I uploaded a console screenshot to my google drive: https://goo.gl/medcXj and I didn't find anything suspicious in syslog or kernel log, most probably because the kernel panics almost instantly after plugging the usb adapter in. Updating to linux-image-4.8.0-39-generic does not solve the issue as well. Only way to work around the issue is to select the 4.8.0-37 image from the grub bootmenu. The problem is not related to a specific USB port. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Kernel panic when plugging in USB Wifi USB adapter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1669815 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
