    Rebooting 7.10 kernel panic

    It seems that ever other time I reboot my machine I get a kernel panic:

    "74.538780 Eip: [<c0120808>] task_rq_lock+0x39/0x80 SS:ESP 0068:dfbbbe50
    74.538899 Kernel panic -not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt"

    then just a blinking cursor and blinking caps lock and scroll lock lights on my keyboard.
    I reboot it again and go in under recovery mode, and do a startx, then logout, and reboot, without actually doing anything.
    Then, no kernel panic and boots up normal.
    Anyone know what is going on here?

    That sure sounds like a hardware timing issue -- CPU and RAM not clocking quite right, or something like that. Have you run the memtest86 test on your memory (for 4 to 6 hours)?

      Strange, indeed.
      Always check the obvious first.

      In your /boot/grub/menu.lst, find the entry for the Kubuntu you are talking about.
      title
      root
      kernel
      initrd

      Do you see anything strange in the kernel line options? Is the initrd line there as it should be?
      How about the Recovery mode boot entry below it? Any major differences?

        it all looks pretty normal, this is after a fresh install here is a portion of my men.lst

        title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic
        root (hd1,2)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=53077308-9dd1-4d12-bf6b-b9eae5551e97 ro quiet splash
        initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic
        quiet

        title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recovery mode)
        root (hd1,2)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=53077308-9dd1-4d12-bf6b-b9eae5551e97 ro single
        initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic

        title Ubuntu 7.10, memtest86+

          I am with dibl on this one - are you running a laptop with "other than manufacturer" RAM? Same happened to me on a Toshiba satellite (right picky bas**rds when it comes to RAM).

            I always end up with a kernel panic when i try to activate my wireless card (Realtek Semiconductor RTL 8185) under Kubuntu. Does not matter whether i use wicd or knetwork manager. The wireless card work fine under XP which i dual boot in the PC.
            Second dibl.

              this is not on a laptop, this is on a desktop. But now that you mention about wireless, it could be my DWL-G132 dongle. got it working under ndiswrapper, but has recently been a little tweeky.
