Very funny, this is during boot, I don't have any tools at the moment during boot... Ok, when the robot says so, I'll try to set it to confirmed...
** Description changed: We got some strange problems here. We're running a vmware farm with several clusters and different cpus. Customers often gave us a ubuntu image, we start it and everything is fine. Now one of such machines runs on an internal cluster and when we tried to move it to an outside cluster (DMZ, we switched it off before, of course) it just crashes with segmentation violation. We searched a long time and didn't expected the kernel has a problem. But after a coworker changed the generic kernel to the virtual kernel (same version!) everything went well. It seems that this generic kernel (we're talking 'bout the 64bit version here) has this problem with this specific CPU: Intel XEON E7340, 2.4 GHz (HP - Blade: Proliant BL680c G5). Other HP-Hardware (e.g. Intel XEON X6550, + Blade: Proliant BL680c G5). Other HP-Hardware (e.g. Intel XEON X5650, 2.67 GHz, Proliant BL460c G6) works fine with generic kernel inside a vmware VM. The same kernel-version but "virtual" (e.g. linux- image-2.6.32-33-virtual) always works. A picture of the segmentation violation of the generic kernel is attached... ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/832730 Title: kernel crashes at startup/boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/832730/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
