Description of problem: Upgrading the kernel from F18 gold to newer causes MCE and Kernel Panic at boot Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): (machine has been upgraded to f19, problem still occurs) kernel-3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64 kernel-3.9.5-302.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Almost every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 18 2. Upgrade kernel 3. Reboot Actual results: Machine kernel panics with MCE mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU0: Machine Check Exception: 4 Bank 4: b200000000070f0f mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 11c473c52b mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 2:20f32 TIME 1373598391 SOCKET 0 APIC 0 microcode 4d mce: [Hardware Error]: Run the above through 'mcelog --ascii' mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Processor context corrupt Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal machine check on current CPU Shutting down cpus with NMI drm_kms_helper: panic occurred switching back to text console Expected results: Machine should not kernel panic Additional info: * Booting into older kernel (from gold install of F18) works fine * Issue exists in F19 also. fedup or fresh install appear to work fine but machine encounters MCE at first boot. * Rebooting over and over (and over) may result in the machine coming up. Once the machine is up, it remains stable, but will fail again next reboot. * F19 Live media works fine * CPU is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ * Attempted to swap out memory on the machine, but issue still occurs
Installing the f18 kernel on f19 appears to resolve the issue for me also and allows f19 to boot [jack@jack-desktop ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat) [jack@jack-desktop ~]$ uname -r 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64
