I was just able to reproduce the problem by using e4rat instead of ureadahead, and installing updates which included libc6. :$cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.10.0-5-generic root=UUID=11fd08db-f2a5-45bc-8daf-7baa813ba410 ro quiet splash init=/sbin/e4rat-preload vt.handoff=7 -- You

I cannot install any new software, since dpkg got interrupted mid- upgrade and calling 'dpkg --configure -a' triggers the kernel panic. I've been trying to reproduce the panic on a fresh install of the daily build on an external drive, but so far without success. -- You received this bug notifica

Redmar, you wouldn't necessarily have to reinstall Ubuntu. But, simply install the mainline kernel previously noted, and see if this is reproducible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.n

It looks like the panic only occurs when updating libc6. I found this out because usually after the panic, I run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and I can continue the update, but since the last panic dpkg starts by configuring libc6, and then the panic occurs again. So at this point, the panic is 100%

Looks like a correction is in order, I just had a kernel panic while running the mainline kernel. While the problem always occurs while updating, it does not occur on every update, so it's hard to reproduce. I've typed over the exact error messages I get on screen when it happens: [ 595.024498]

Redmar, thank you for testing the mainline kernel. The next step would be to find the earliest upstream kernel version that fixed your problem (reverse mainline kernel version bisect). Could you please do this following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
