Hi, this comment is to confirm that a memory module was faulty. It has been replaced and all kernels 3.5.0-17/18/19 including 3.7.0 rc7 all work perfectly on my machine. I have testing it thoroughly for more than a week. Cheers and thanks, Compliments of the season to all of you, Rob -- Y

No problem at all, Robert. I'm glad to hear you found the cause. If you find replacing the memory is not the cause, just move the status of this bug back to new. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of U

Hi Joseph, I have found hardware errors on my computer. I have a problem that two memory modules will not work together as dual channel memory. They fail the memtest86+ test when they are in adjacent slots. Kernel 3.7.0 rc7 does work perfectly on my computer but the memory requirements are prob

I have marked it as 'confirmed'. There are no problems with kernel 3.7.0 on my machine. I did boot kernel-3.5.0-18-generic to test again and the above bug did happen. I got 'kernel BUG at /build/buildd/linux-3.5.0/mm/mmap.c:2312!' with kernel 3.5.0-18-generic within a few minutes. Thanks for all

I have install the upstream kernel 3.7.0-030700rc7-generic, headers and the extra package. No stack dumps so far, but I will test if for some time still. My hardware is set back to what it was before. One strange thing (not a bug) there is no terminal if I do Ctrl alt F1. Also if I stop the X se

Hi Joseph, Sure I will test the latest upstream kernel and will provide feedback on the results. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Sorry that I have only responded now. I have been trying to change hardware to see if I can isolate the bug. I have changed video cards, mice etc. I will get b

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.7 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages. If this bug is fixed in the ma

Hi I should have mentioned the above problem occurs with linux-image-3.5.0-17-generic and linux-image-3.5.0-18-generic from ubuntu 12.10. It also seems to be related to my Optical Genius mouse as this is mentioned often in the syslog file just before the stack trace. Thanks Rob Key -- You rec
