I'm having a problem with my Dell Inspiron 1564,

I am getting this error:

problem Kernel panic - not syncing: fatal exception in interrupt drm_kms_helper:: panic occurred, switching back to text console

I've found that it is probably due to the Broadcomm STA wireless driver.

But I am not sure how to solve the issue, does anyone know what I should do/try ?

    this has nothing to do with wireless driver. drm_kms_helper is part of the Linux GPU DRM driver. so apparently it has something to with your GPU. Nvidia, AMD ? proprietary or open source driver? kernel version? more info is needed here. – sgx1 Jan 30 '14 at 06:32
  • This sounds an awful lot like this bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36539 Which kernel version are you running? – Donarsson Jan 30 '14 at 13:22

    This seems like using an older kernel with a more modern KMS setting display driver. My suggestion would be to bring your kernel and driver closer together, such as installing a new kernel, using an older driver, or updating to a newer version of Ubuntu would will default to both. – K.
