This issue is also occurring on Dell Latitude 131L. Second time I installed 12.04 and the issue is definitely with the broadcom drivers. When I activated it and rebooted, that's when the issue started to occur.
I'm receiving the same errors as Jesus Lara @ comment #51 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/775950/comments/51 But same results as MikeyB @ comment #54 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/775950/comments/54 I tried editing the boot menu and adding noapic xforcevesa acpi=off nomodeset Resulted in the same recursive error, reboot required. Any suggestions? I'm thinking about downgrading to 10.04 or switching to BSD to boot up my old computer. There must have been some kind of regression if this used to work fine.. -- 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/775950 Title: fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed! upon boot (always reproducible on battery only, but sometimes on AC too) Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Upon booting with only battery power, I get a kernel panic ending with the message "fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!"
