The first time I rebooted after updating from Rawhide to kernel-PAE-2.6.31.5-96.fc12.i686
yesterday, the kernel crashed with a stack trace on reboot after saying something about an
APIC problem and then telling me to reboot with apic=debug and then noapic. I
unfortunately didn't write down any details about the kernel crash because I figured
it would be reproducible. I rebooted with apic=debug and it didn't happen. Then I
rebooted again without apic=debug or noapic, i.e., the same way that had crashed the first
time, and the reboot succeeded without crashing.
Is there useful information about my system that I can provide to help the kernel
maintainers make something useful out of what happened to me?
