I am getting a kernel panic on a subset of my machines on bootup. It usually happens on first boot and then when you reboot it, it boots normally..
I have also seen this bug once when I plugged in a USB thumbdrive. The kernel panic and happened almost instantaneously.
I am not running a stock config, so I have included my kernel config, module list, lspci output, and pic of the kernel panic.
NOTE: My hunch is that a patch may have broken this..with some preliminary testing I did the following.
I download the linux-2.6 source DID NOT patch the source packaged it and installed it on target machines and this problem did not occur anymore.
I also would like to add that this is not reproducible on every machine here..it only happens on a subset..I have tried to eliminate hardware configuration but came up with nothing.
