Description bob 2013-08-16 16:36:30 UTC 
Description of problem:

Upon updating to the current kernel release, 3.6.10-100 my AMD 8-core system will not boot.  The system displays an error message declaring that there is a page fault in AMD-Vi, and enters an endless loop displaying page fault warnings.  Reverting to my previous kernel solves the problem.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

3.6.10-100

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Boot
2.
3.

Actual results:  Page fault endless loop


Expected results:

normal boot

Oops -- I made a typo in the above report, transposing some numbers.

The actual kernel that does not work is:

'Fedora (3.10.6-100.fc18.x86_64)'

The previous kernel that works is:

'Fedora (3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64)'
