    Phoronix: Linux 3.4-rc5: Annoying, But Not Hugely Scary

      Another EFI point, though this one reflects more on the incompetence of Canonical:
      Bug #721576 “[natty] kernel panic on reboot with (U)EFI” : Bugs : linux package : Ubuntu
      https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/721576
      === RELEASE NOTES TEXT === * Some EFI systems fail to boot in EFI mode, BIOS mode is advised in these situations. (Bug:721576) === Call trace seems to show this is related to EFI, it happens every time on reboot with 2.6.38-1 and 2.6.38-4 see attached images. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: linux-image (not installed) Regression: No Reproducible: Yes ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-4.31-generic 2.6.38-rc5 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-4-generic x86_64 AlsaVersion: Advanced...


      Kernel panic on reboot with EFI. Canonical adds a mention of that in the release notes, and because of that *marks the bug as fixed*. Way to go.

        The bug was only marked fixed under the Ubuntu Release Notes task. It is still open for the kernel.
