2.6.39 kernel panic w/screenshots & kernel cfg link provided

2.6.39 kernel panic w/screenshots & kernel cfg link provided

[Justin Piszcz]

Hello,

Since I updated to 2.6.39, my system has been crashing on a random basis, 
can someone identify what is going on here?

I've checked the hardware it is OK and this only started to occur after I 
moved to 2.6.39 from what I can tell..

Kernel crash/panic, hang:

I've just had a very similar panic.

Just a me too I'm afraid.
On a 2.6.39 kernel I get these from about 3 of 4 boots.
If I append "panic=30" to the command line and leave it go, eventually I 
get into a working kernel.

I've seen them on a 2.6.38.7 kernel also, but far harder to hit and I've 
not seen them at all on a 2.6.38.2 kernel.

Once the kernel is running I don't seem to have an issue.

So far, my system has not crashed in 4 days after doing this, I am also 
using the 'threadirqs' boot option, if it crashes again I'll provide an update
but so far it has been stable..

For others who also have crashes, do your crashes persist when you disable 
these options (don't use ACPI) for ATA/SATA.

CONFIG_ATA_ACPI=y
CONFIG_PATA_ACPI=m

Recently I added a lot of options to my .config (compiled them as 
modules), I noticed two items, one, when all of the ATA devices (SATA), 
not the deprecated ones and/or the ACPI option for libata, that seemed to 
be the final culprit that may have been causing my issues, no crashes.. 
yet.
