Description Marcos Martins da Silva 2013-08-19 20:58:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
I installed the newest kernel for Fedora 19 (kernel-3.10.7-200.fc19.x86_64). As soon I start a gnome session (just after login) I get a kernel panic and can do anything.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.10.7-200.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on computer
2. Log in to Gnome session
3.

Actual results:
Kernel panic and locked keyboard

Expected results:
Be able to use the computer after starting

Additional info:
Booting to previous version (kernel-3.10.5-201.fc19.x86_64) works flawlessly.
I am using an Alienware M17X2 laptop. At the text screen after panic I saw that the problem is with brcsmac module.
