I've updated the BIOS to the latest version A05. The kernel panics on boot persist in the Ubuntu Trusty kernel. 3.13.0-66-generic still often fails to boot. Patched kernels I've built have never failed to boot. ** Tags removed: bios-outdated-a02 -- You received this bug notification because you

I have tested the attached patch against ubuntu kernels 3.13.0-58, 3.13.0-63, 3.13.0-64, and 3.13.0-65 for over a month. Never once has this laptop suffered a kernel panic with the applied patch to reinstate the optimization to stepwise.c. It has never failed to boot. As I said earlier, I found the

Brian, I did a git bisect on the affected kernel and I think I found the bad commit causing the kernel panic. Could you try building a kernel with the change in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel- team/2015-June/058662.html reverted and see if it solves the problem with Dell's installed Ubunt

Nevermind, this bug is still present in 3.13.0-63-generic. I was wrong about the bios setting in post #5. The only reliable way to boot a current kernel with working smp is to first boot linux- image-3.13.0-57-generic, then reboot into the latest kernel. Kernels linux-image-3.13.0-62-generic and li

I have discovered one cause of the kernel panic during boot that affects this laptop with linux-image-3.13.0-61-generic and linux- image-3.13.0-58-generic.
