I'm seeing this too. Same hardware, same problem. Disabling wifi in the BIOS avoids the kernel panic, but leaves me with a largely pointless laptop. It's now been reported upstream: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43076 I'd encourage anyone hitting this bug to add a comment to the upstream entry. The more chatter, the more likely it is to get looked at. This is a major issue because you can't even solve it by switching distro. I have the same issue running fedora 16 on kernels 3.2.10-3.3.1 but on a dell studio xps 13 (studio xps 1340). I could not disable the wifi thru the bios so i couldn't say if is the wifi or not. Same hardware and same troubles as Nathan Samson Same problem with dell studio xps 1340 I've recompiled the Fedora 16 3.3.2 kernel from update-testing (3.3.2-1.fc16) with the patch from Tejun Heo (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43098) and I can confirm that now my Dell XPS 15 is booting and working without any issue. If someone wants to test the patched 3.3.2-1.fc16 I can provide x86_64 RPMs. Thanks to all. *** Bug 809158 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** OK. We'll get this pulled in soon. Thank you very much for the pointer! kernel-3.3.2-8.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-3.3.2-8.fc17 kernel-3.3.2-6.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-3.3.2-6.fc16 kernel-2.6.43.2-6.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-2.6.43.2-6.fc15 Package kernel-3.3.2-8.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel-3.3.2-8.fc17' as soon as you are able to, then reboot. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-6344/kernel-3.3.2-8.fc17 then log in and leave karma (feedback). kernel-3.3.2-8.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. kernel-3.3.2-6.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. I have a Dell XPS17 and I have been having this problem since the first kernel 3.3 update on FC16 x86_64 (The last working kernel was kernel-3.2.10-3.fc16). I can confirm that kernel-3.3.2-6.fc16 is booting successfully without the PANIC. I just ran my updates and I have a Kernel Panic error also. Error: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0). I do not have a Dell. I have a Gateway DX 4200 with Nvidia 9600, Specs found here: http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/DX4200/1015576R/1015576Rsp3.shtml. I have tried to rebuild the boot partition and it still will not load. I am not able to boot to previouse 3.3.1-3 as the system will not let me install the proper nvidia drivers for that Kernel. The fs is listed correctly as is the 0,0. I hope an update is pushed before having to move to 17 as I am looking at reinstalling to fix this. Any help would be greatly appriciated! Thanks, Marc Currently running on USB Live Fedora 16 to post this :-( kernel-2.6.43.2-6.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository.
