[Bug 1086650] Re: Ralink wifi driver works fine on 12:04 but causes kernel panic on 12:10

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
pnelnik, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest
development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains,
could you please run the following command in the development release
from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will
automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Ralink wifi driver works fine on 12:04 but causes kernel panic on
  12:10

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On a Fujitsu Lifebook, I did a dual install of Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12:10.
  For wifi it uses Ralink RT3290

  To get the wifi working I got the driver from the Ralink web-site.
  I followed the install instructions mentioned: 
  http://rricketts.com/installing-ralink-rt3290-wireless-drivers-in-ubuntu-12-04/

  I was then able to connect to the wifi, but ubuntu was then very unstable.
  I was never able to do more than about 30 seconds of surfing with firefox.
  The OS would crash sometimes even before firefox was loaded.
  Each time, I saw the following on the screen:

  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
  panic occurred, switching back to text console
  [drm] nouveau 000:01:00.0: no native mode. forcing panel scaling
  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

  
  Had the following in /var/log/kern.log ( which may or may not be relevant ):
  RT3290_AsicTxAlcGetAutoAgcOffset: Incorrect desired TSSI or current TSSI

  The work around I found that entirely got rid of the problem was to  switch from  Ubuntu 12:10 to 12:04.
  It is now working fine on my machine.

  So it looks like we have one of the following:
  (i) I've done something silly
  (ii) there is a bug in 12:10 causing the crash
  (iii) there is a bug in the ralink driver
  (iv) something else

  
  Here's more of the kern.log
