If this helps: I have tried many linux dists, mint,kali,debian,fedora and I get the same kernel panic.
In the past I never had this problem with debian 6 and kernel 2.6. -- 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/1212856 Title: "Kernel Panic - Not syncing : Fatal Exception in Interrupt" in 12.04.2 LTS (64-bit) Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Several times, when I boot my Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (Precise Pangolin) 64-bit installation, I get a kernel panic during the boot. When that happens, I have to power the machine down and power it up again. Sometimes, the kernel panic happens several times in a row, until the machine finally boots. The hardware is a "HP Pavilion dv6" laptop, running in Dual-Boot with Windows 7 Home Premium (also 64-bit). I have all Updates installed to this date (15-aug-2013), including the kernel updates: the running kernel is 3.5.0-37 Here's the output from uname -a : $ Linux [hostname] 3.5.0-37-generic #58~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 10 17:48:11 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The last message of the kernel panic is almost always the following: "Kernel Panic - Not syncing : Fatal Exception in Interrupt" Sometimes, there's a message below that stating: "Shutting down cpus with NMI" The messages above the "Kernel Panic" message are usually different each time. I have photographed several of the "Kernel Panic" screens and I can attach some of them to this Bug Report, if that's useful. In case it's relevant, my partition setup for this Ubuntu installation is the following: 1 - a "/boot" partition (formatted as ext3) 2 - a swap partition 3 - a "/" partition (formatted as ext4), with encrypted home folder. Please tell me if I should add any information to this bug report. Thanks in advance.
