Massive crash and kernel panic after updates yesterday, what now?
- by Ghost
Got 12.04 on an AMD+radeon machine, everything was running fine until last night when the update manager installed new packages, and now the moment I open a browser (firefox, chromium, anything) it crashes instantly.
It says warning: at build/buildd/linux-3.5.0/arch/x86/kernel/smp.c:123 native_smp_send_reschedule+0x5b/0x60()
Pid: 2432, comm: chrome_dbthread tainted: G D 3.5.0-2generic #2-ubuntu
I already tried uninstalling the packages from the update log, didn't solve a thing. Depending of which browser I use I get a different reaction, like a complete freeze instead of a text console crash.
Ideas? I really don't know what to do.
