Title:
  dahdi-dkms modules not updating properly with kernel updates, can
  cause soft lockup

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This was originally reported in bug #1184154, which was closed because the originator could no longer contribute.

  From a starting point of 3.2.0-43-generic, dahdi and asterisk are running and working as expected.
  Updating to a more recent kernel (e.g., 3.2.0-44 or 3.2.0-48), via update manager or manually, results in a system that will not boot.  Running the recovery mode version of the kernel from grub shows that shortly after the dahdi module is loaded it gets "soft lockup" on the cores and the system stops booting.  I can't enclose logs for this because it doesn't get far enough to write anything out.

  If I fall back to 3.2.0-43 and add module blacklisting and temporarily remove init.d/dadhi and init.d/asterisk, I can then get 3.2.0-44 to boot since the dadhi module is no longer loaded.
  From that point, I can run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure dahdi-dkms", which appears to purge the dadhi dkms modules and rebuild them, which is similar to what it appeared to do when installing the new kernel.  If I then undo the hack to prevent dadhi from loading and reboot into 3.2.0-44, dadhi loads fine without lockups and asterisk runs as expected.

  An objdump compare of modules generated after the kernel install and
  after the dpkg-reconfigure show that they're fairly different --
  symbols are moved around and of different sizes.

  This is easy to reproduce and several people using dadhi have reported
  the issue (in the earlier bug report) with kernel versions 3.2.0-44 or
  later.  I can purge 3.2.0-44 and then re-update to that version and
  show that the dadhi modules are causing soft lockups until I do a
  "dpkg-reconfigure dadhi-dkms".
