Hi Brian et al, First, can you try booting the latest 3.2.0-22.35 kernel. I just want to confirm this isn't resolved before we investigate further. Assuming the issue remains, lets try and figure out the exact change which introduced this regression. Between the 3.2.0-17 and 3.2.0-18 kernels th

A workaround which was suggested in the thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11819330 fixed the issue for me: echo "blacklist ite-cir" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ite-cir.conf sudo depmod -a 3.2.0-22-generic sudo update-initramfs -u -k 3.2.0-22-generic -- You received this bug notifica

I suffer from an identical problem on dell xps studio 1340 with nvidia 9500m card. The 3.0.0-17 kernel boots fine, but the 3.2.0-22 (and all the former 3.2 I tried) leads to kernel panic. No logs are saved, and most of the data runs on the screen too fast to be read. It seems to be the same bug,

Hi Brad, This bug exists in all kernels up to and including mainline (which as of today was 3.4-rc1). The ite_probe() function in the ite-cir driver (drivers/media/rc/ite- cir.c) installs an interrupt service routine via request_irq() before properly initializing both the hardware and crucial fun
