OK, as per Brendan's suggestion I blacklisted the ite-cir module, by creating /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ite-cir.conf with this content:
blacklist ite_cir then I rebooted with the 3.0.0-19 kernel and it boots fine! And to confirm that the ite-cir module is the one causing the problem, I did sudo modprobe ite_cir I immediately get a crash dump to a text console, panic and freeze. I guess the next step on this one is to try the mainline kernel, I'll get to that ASAP and report back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984387 Title: [Dell Studio XPS 1340] Kernel panic with 3.0.0-19 on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/984387/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
