I actually just today built the current Intrepid kernel with "prevu", but have to wait a bit to reboot. In the meantime, for my colleague who was experiencing this Oops 2-3 times a week, we compiled and installed 2.6.26.3, and now he hasn't had the problem occur again in over 4 weeks.
However, another user was running the same 2.6.26.3 (not Ubuntu's BTW, but our own config and installation), and that had the same Oops as well (different machine, both running Ubuntu 8.04.1). So, whatever the issue is, 2.6.26 seems to have made the problem rarer, but not eliminated it entirely. In the meantime, I'll install Ubuntu's Intrepid 2.6.27 kernels on a few machines, especially the ones that have had this oops in the past (it seems to affect only a few users, but it hits them often, like its a usage pattern thing). -- Kernel Panic due to null pointer dereference in do_add_mount() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214810 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
