Kernel 3.7 and AMD cpu's

[cariboo]

Just out of curiosity, how many of us with AMD cpu's are having trouble booting the the latest kernel available in the repositories?

My Intel atom powered netbook runs just fine with the 3.7.0.2 kernel.

I have no problem to boot.
The installation is an upgrade from 12.04.1 to 12.10 and then with changed source list

sudo sed -i 's/quantal/raring/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I have that problem I can´t boot in 3.7 kernel, system immediately freezes and gets stuck in it and not do anything any more after that

My system is... Asus motherboard, AMD Athlon 250 II 3,0 Ghz, 4 Gt DDR2 ram and Nvidia 9400 gt

I'm having boot problems with my 64 bit system...AMD processor.

Same here...AMD64 and it does not want to boot...however I installed the latest RC of GhostBSD and that boots/installs with no problem.

AMD 64 here and no boot with the 3.7 kernel either with upgraded Quantal hd install or live cd , 3.5.0-17 boots ok

sometimes I get the error "soft lockup cpu0..." or something like that...I have never seen this one before....and it hangs...if it will boot I only see one core of 4.

Not that it's a solution, but does installing amd64-microcode make any difference?

[P-I H]

I have the AMD microcode installed and is using the Nvidia 304.43 driver.

What about mainline rc6?
