This is not HP-specific and also happens on Dell HW. I'll take this as the tracking bug. This commit suggests that the BUG_ON is actually bogus:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?id=107437febd495a50e2cd09c81bbaa84d30e57b07 In the referenced thread there was a Cc to stable@, but that apparently got dropped when the patch was put into tip. This is *not* part of 3.15 yet. Instead it's currently staged for the next merge window. ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing ** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- 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/1323165 Title: [HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8] kernel BUG at /build/buildd/linux-3.13.0/mm/memory.c:3756!
