Happens occasionally during boot Additional info:
is there any call trace along with that panic ?
No, that's all there is. It just stops )-:
do you have the word 'quiet' on your boot command line ? If so, remove that, and it should print something more informational. (You'll get a ton of other messages too, but hopefully the useful ones will be onscreen just before the hang)
No, I don't have the quiet parameter, the kernel just fails to panic properly )-: I do realise there isn't much to go on here...
