Created attachment 651609 [details] Photo of error message(s) Booting 3.6.7-4.fc17.x86_64 randomly fails. Tried disabling various CPU features in BIOS without success. BIOS is Phoenix SecureCore Tiano. Processor is Intel Core i7-3517U @1.9GHz (4 core) and 8GB ram. Graphics: Intel Ivybridge Mobile. Fails on power-on and/or on restart. Booting 3.3.4-5.fc17_x86_64 always succeeds.
that 3.3 survives is curious, because if you run that message through mcelog as it suggests, you get this... Hardware event. This is not a software error.

No idea tbh. We've not had any similar reports that I can recall, which lends credence to the notion that this may be a fault unique to your particular setup.
I was doubtful bugzilla was the right spot for this issue, but I figured I'd give it a shot since I wasn't able to find much online. I only googled 1 other person with the issue (I think their distro was Debian) and they were able to resolve it by mucking with their BIOS settings. If it is just a hardware issue it's a part of the hardware that neither Windows 8 (laptop shipped with) nor the 3.3 kernel uses. My best guess would be it's a driver/BIOS conflict. Though I admit I'm totally guessing there. I'm happy using the older kernel until hopefully a future BIOS update or kernel update works. In any case, thank you for looking into it.
We've still not had any similar reports that I'm aware of. Are you still seeing this with 3.7.9 or 3.8.2?
This bug is being closed with INSUFFICIENT_DATA as there has not been a response in 2 weeks. If you are still experiencing this issue, please reopen and attach the relevant data from the latest kernel you are running and any data that might have been requested previously.
I am facing same issue with following output: [root@oscar ~]# mcelog Hardware event. This is not a software error.
