Kernel panic on boot
Last modified: 2013-03-12 16:49:06 EDT
Description of problem: Kernel panic on boot Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.6.x How reproducible: Boot computer with my external raid enclosure. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn on enclosure 2. Boot computer 3. Crash Actual results: Computer should boot Expected results: Enjoy playing on the computer Additional info: After the kernel went to the 3.6 series I can't boot with my external raid enclosure on. If I have it disconnected I can boot fine. It has always worked fine before. I have tried turning it on after a boot, and computer just locks up. The enclosure is a Rosewill RSV-S5. I use a software raid, but still won't work with just a single drive in it. I have tried the current stable kernel and the one in updates-testing.
Unless we see the backtrace, there's nothing we can even start looking at here. Please attach a picture of it or a hand transcription or something.

I have a similar problem: Product: Fedora Component: kernel (Show other bugs) Version(s): 17 Platform: x86 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.6.x Description of problem: Kernel panic on boot Steps to reproduce: 1. Turn on 2. Boot begins 3. Crash Additional info: After update from kernel-PAE-3.5.4-2.fc17.i686 to kernel-PAE-3.6.2-4.fc17.i686 my computer frequently crushes on boot (2-3 successful boots on 10 attempts). My hardware: CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ Memory: DDR2 4GB VGA: nVidia Corporation G71 [GeForce 7300 GS] (rev a1)
kernel-PAE-3.6.3-1.fc17.i686 -- the same problem kernel-PAE-3.5.4-2.fc17.i686 works OK
kernel-PAE-3.6.6-1.fc17.i686 -- the same problem
kernel-PAE-3.6.7-4.fc17.i686 -- the same problem/ But with kernel-PAE-3.6.7-4.fc17.i686 and with kernel-PAE-3.6.6-1.fc17.i686 kernel parameter pci=noacpi helps.
Are you still seeing this with 3.7.9 or 3.8.2 in updates-testing?
3.7.9-104.fc17.i686.PAE works OK
Great, thanks for letting us know.
