Hi, I am running lubuntu 14.04 with the latest Linaro kernel (git.linaro.org/kernel/linux-linaro-tracking) on arndale, I found once X is started ('xinit' is enough) , any one of the following operations will very easily cause kernel panic or hang, (1) Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Alt+F7 switch between graphic mode and text mode; (2) 'xinit' to start graphic mode, then 'exit' to quit graphic mode; (3) After login into Lunbuntu desktop, switch user account to login;
The kernel is compiled by using the 'exynos_defconfig' and 'exynos5250-arndale.dts'. Sometimes the kernel hang without any response, sometimes the kernel panic with messages below,
