Public bug reported: During the boot sequence we see a stack trace (check the dmesg), and after some time using the computer, the kernel panics and everything hangs (see attached pic).
I've tried the 32 bit version of the following kernels: linux-image-4.4.52-040452-generic (downloaded from the kernel ppa) linux-image-4.8.0-34-generic linux-image-4.8.0-37-generic linux-image-4.8.0-39-generic linux-image-4.10.1-041001-generic (downloaded from the kernel ppa) I've also tried the 64 bit live version of Ubuntu 16.04.2, plus another old distro with 4.3.2. Same result in all cases. This issue can be reproduced in another machine with the same specs (same laptop). Booting with nomodeset makes this problem go away, but the resolution is limited to 1024x768 and it's not a permanent fix, obviously. By the way, here's the output of lshw -c video (as non-root, since it segfaults as a root) $ lshw -c video WARNING: you should run this program as super-user. *-display:0 description: VGA compatible controller product: Mobile GME965/GLE960 Integrated Graphics Controller vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 2 bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0 version: 0c width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=i915 latency=0 resources: irq:30 memory:e8400000-e84fffff memory:d0000000-dfffffff ioport:6000(size=8) memory:c0000-dffff *-display:1 UNCLAIMED description: Display controller product: Mobile GME965/GLE960 Integrated Graphics Controller vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 2.1 bus info: pci@0000:00:02.1 version: 0c width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: bus_master cap_list configuration: latency=0 resources: memory:e8500000-e85fffff WARNING: output may be incomplete or inaccurate, you should run this program as super-user.
