[Bug 1064489] Re: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null); RIP: 0010:[<0000000000000000>] [< (null)>] (null)

 

roelof van der kleij, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/optiplex-380 an update is available for your BIOS (A07). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and just provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Bug description:
  When entering a dfs referral in the DFS root tree, I cannot follow the
  referral to the next server. I get either a "Permission denied" error
  or an "Object is remote" error.

  if I cd to a non-existent folder I get a kernel oops:

  I mount the DFS root from the fstab:

  //domain.leidenuniv.nl/Public /DOMAIN/folder/   cifs
  sec=krb5,intr,multiuser,_netdev,iocharset=utf8,noperm,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mapchars,nocase
  0       0

  Note due issues in netapp, kerberos and samba, the oldest Ubuntu
  kernel regression tested to is 3.2.0-2-generic: mount works, but bug
  present.
